Underestimate
To think that someone or something is weaker, less important, smaller, or less capable than they really are.
Examples:
1- Early in her career, Merkel was often underestimated by male politicians, but she became one of the most influential leaders in Europe during her time as German Chancellor.
2- I underestimated my grandma’s tech skills when she asked me to teach her how to use her smartphone. Now, she’s out-meming me with 100 memes a day and has a TikTok following that's bigger than mine!
