appreciation
의미: An increase in the value of an asset over time; also, recognition and understanding of the worth, quality, or significance of something.
In finance, appreciation refers specifically to the rise in value of assets such as property, shares, or currencies — the opposite of depreciation. 'Capital appreciation' is a key investment metric. Beyond finance, appreciation means both gratitude ('I'd like to express my appreciation') and understanding ('an appreciation of the risks involved'). The financial and general meanings are distinct in usage but share the underlying idea of recognising value. Common collocations include 'capital appreciation,' 'price appreciation,' 'currency appreciation,' and 'in appreciation of.'
