glamourise
Add false allure
Glamourise is the British spelling of glamorize—to make something seem more attractive, exciting, or appealing than it really is.
The word often carries a critical edge, suggesting distortion or dangerous romanticizing: The film glamourises violence.
Don't glamourise the past—it wasn't all tea parties and country estates.
