Over-appraise is a term that refers to the act of overestimating or exaggerating the value or worth of something or someone. Some synonyms for over-appraise are overvalue, overestimate, overrate, overpraise, exaggerate, or inflate. These words describe the tendency to perceive something as more significant, valuable, or important than it actually is. Over-appraising can lead to poor decisions made based on inaccurate information, such as pricing a product or service too high, misjudging the potential of an investment or a job candidate, or overestimating the success of a project. It is important to have a clear and unbiased assessment of the value of things and avoid over-appraising them.
