A number with a poker face, pretending math when it's mostly mood and momentum.
means Valuation is the process of estimating what something is worth—a business, asset, or property—usually expressed as a single figure.
from From the Latin 'valere,' meaning 'to be strong, to be worth,' which gave Old French 'valoir' and the noun 'value.' The '-ation' suffix turns the act of assigning worth into a thing in itself. The same Latin root quietly powers 'valiant,' 'valid,' and 'convalesce'—all bound up in the idea of strength and worth.
