misprize - (verb) to undervalue

In the story of the Little Prince, the Turkish astronomer's discovery of Asteroid B-612 was misprized by people around him because he wore a Turkish costume. The next time he presented the same discovery, he was wearing Western clothes; and his discovery was well-applauded.
