词源

From Middle English glorifien, from Anglo-Norman and Old French glorifier, from Late Latin glōrificō, from Latin glōria + -ficō (“to make”). By surface analysis, glory + -fy. Displaced native Middle English wuldrien (“to glorify”), from Old English wuldrian as well as Middle English stellifien (“to glorify, make stellar”), from Old French stellifier (Medieval Latin stellificāre); see stellify.
