lionize \LY-uh-nyz\, transitive verb:
To treat or regard as an object of great interest or importance.
"There is good reason to be wary, and to pay some attention to that man behind the curtain -- or, if anyone tries to sell you one, to be cautious about lionizing "some pig" -- however terrific, radiant, and humble -- in a poke."
--Marjorie B. Garber, Symptoms of Culture
