exalted
Raised in standing
Exalted means raised to a high position or elevated in rank, status, or esteem: an exalted place in literary history, her exalted position at court.
The word suggests being lifted above ordinary levels—an exalted mood is one of intense joy or spiritual elevation.
Exalted can shade into irony when the loftiness seems pretentious: His exalted opinion of himself was not widely shared.
