Apotheosize

/ˌæpəˈθiːəsaɪz/ verb

Definition

To raise a person or thing to the rank of a god; to make divine or treat as if divine.

Etymology

From Late Latin apotheosis, from Greek apotheoun 'to make a god,' from apo- 'away, from' and theos 'god.' The verb form adds the productive suffix -ize, making it an actionable transformation.

Kelly Says

Ancient Greeks used this word to describe literal religious elevation—but today we apothesize celebrities, brands, and historical figures in ways the Greeks would recognize as genuinely religious behavior without temples!
