The act or process of making something glorious or bestowing glory upon something.
From Latin 'gloria' (glory) plus the suffix '-ation,' which creates nouns from verbs. This formation follows the standard English pattern of turning 'glorify' into an abstract noun form.
This is a wonderfully technical word that appears mostly in theology and philosophy—theologians use 'gloriation' to describe the transformation of humans into an exalted state, which shows how ordinary English word-building rules can create pretty specialized vocabulary.
