Romanticise is a term that refers to the act of idealising and exaggerating something in order to make it more appealing. IDEALISE is an 8-letter word meaning to view or represent something as perfect, while EXAGGERATE is a 10-letter word meaning to enlarge or increase beyond the normal bounds. When combined, these two words describe the act of romanticising, which is the process of making something appear more attractive than it actually is.
