the.com/exaggeration

means Describing something as bigger, better, or worse than it really is, usually for emphasis or effect.

from From Latin exaggerare, 'to heap up or pile on' — built from ex- ('thoroughly') plus aggerare ('to heap'), itself from agger, a mound or rampart. The Romans used it literally, for piling earth; English borrowed it in the 1500s first to mean 'to intensify' or 'heighten,' and only later narrowed it to the specific sin of piling words higher than the facts can hold.
