Etymology
The word 'pedestaled' originates from the noun 'pedestal', which comes from the Latin word 'pedestalis', meaning 'of the foot'. Historically, pedestals were physical bases for statues or art, used to raise these objects above the ground and give them prominence. Over time, the term evolved into a metaphorical expression where individuals or concepts are 'raised up' in terms of social status or admiration. The action of pedestaling someone carries implications of idolatry and can highlight the dichotomy between public perception and personal reality.
