devalorize
Reduce official value
To devalorize something is to reduce or remove its value, worth, or status.
The term appears in economic contexts—currency devalorization—but more often in academic and critical discourse about how societies diminish the perceived worth of certain work, identities, or cultural practices: Domestic labor has been systematically devalorized.
Also spelled devalorise (British).
