exalt
含义: To raise in rank, status, or esteem; to praise or glorify someone or something to an exceptionally high degree.
Exalt has two main senses: practical elevation (exalted to a position of power) and rhetorical praise (exalting the virtues of something). The adjective 'exalted' can describe both high status ('his exalted position') and an elevated emotional or spiritual state. The word carries a tone of reverence or grandeur and is common in religious, literary, and political writing. Common collocations include 'exalted status,' 'exalted position,' 'exalt the virtues of,' and 'much exalted.'
