the.com/glorification

Praise with its sleeves rolled up, lying about the manual labor involved.

means The act of making something or someone seem far more splendid, noble, or praiseworthy than plain reality would support.

from Built from 'glorify,' which traces to Latin 'glorificare' — a fusion of 'gloria' (glory, fame, renown) and 'facere' (to make). So at its root it simply means 'to make glorious' — the '-ation' tacked on later turns the action into a noun, the finished product of all that glory-making.
