What is the verb for “to make heroic” in the title? Why do some people say ‘heroicised’?
What do you mean by “to make heroic.”.? From the pages of Wordnik ” heroic
( adj ) •
Having or displaying the character or attributes of a hero; daring; intrepid; determined •
Of or pertaining to heroes; suitable to the character of a hero; bold, daring, noble, or commanding •
Showing extreme courage; especially of actions bravely undertaken in desperation as a last resortThat expression could mean, to cause or impel someone to act in a more heroic manner, although I think it usually means to regard or deem as a hero.
As for the latter interpretation, as some users have said, you could use the word heroize, but, depending on your context, there might be better ways to say it – such as “He was heralded as a hero. “. In a moment where your current self may be a hero or villain, you’ve got an eye to heroize and maybe himorize is your best option. When talking about an athlete, for example, instead of saying:
She was heroized in the championship tournament; he wins!
The championship was his defining moment.
As far as the former interpretation, that I wouldn’t call that heroization ; that sounds more like some kind of crisis
training.

Asked on November 7, 2021 in Meaning.
What do subzero temperatures mean for weather forecast in the U.S. and how is it predicted? It’s a convenient way for the weatherman to say, “It’s going to be dangerously cold!” In
a similar way, on a warm day, you might hear a forecaster saying things like, “with lows in the teens” or “with highs in the upper 20s”. As
a researcher at a scientific conference, if I heard a researcher say, “The ion-doped material performed better in subzero temperatures,” I’d probably assume she was talking about temperatures below zerou00b0C, given that scientists often use Celsius temperature scales, and because that’s such a key benchmark temperature on the
Celsius scale.
