monumentalising
Enshrining in grandeur
Monumentalising is the British spelling of monumentalizing—making something into a monument or treating it as monumentally significant.
The word often carries critical undertones, suggesting excessive veneration or the transformation of complex history into simplified commemoration: Critics accused the documentary of monumentalising a deeply flawed leader.
