devalued
Reduced in worth
Devalued describes something that has been reduced in worth or importance.
Currency is devalued when its exchange rate drops: The peso was devalued by 30 percent.
More broadly, anything can be devalued—labor, credentials, relationships: Mass production devalued handcrafted goods.
The word often carries a sense of loss or diminishment, something worth less than it once was or should be.
