to lionize means to treat someone as a celebrity or to give them excessive admiration and attention, often elevating their status or importance to an exaggerated level. The lion represents a symbol of pride, strength, courage, and nobility, so when you lionize someone, you attribute to them all those traits. Many people are uncomfortable with being lionized, since being made to seem important comes with responsibilities that are sometimes a burden.

After the shooting, the bystander resisted people's efforts to lionize him. He was only doing what any person would do, he protested. "Don't make me into a hero. I don't want to be lionized."
