Glorifies or places on a pedestal (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

exalts

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'glorifies' is the first definition.
('exalt' can be a synonym of 'glorify')

'places on a pedestal' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for exalts that I've seen before include "Raises or praises" , "Praises, glorifies or honours" , "'Glorifies, honours (6)'" , "Puts on a pedestal" , "Gives a higher rank to" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
