self-exaltation
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular common noun, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root meaning "to be high" or "to rise up," and denotes the state of elevating oneself. "Self-exaltation" preserves the imagery of rising high while conveying the typical negative sense of arrogance inherent in the feminine abstract noun. |
