Ms.Macho,35, attractive and a fluent English speaker, is *lionized* be her allies..... to make somebody into a celebrity, or treat somebody like a celebrity
Does this word have negative connoation?
Would anyone use it in another sentence?
Thanks

It's often used negatively, but not always.
Bill lionized his older brother, Ted, who was the captain of the baseball team.
The CEO (Cheif Executive Officer) was lionized by the senior execs. |
