idolization
This term describes a psychological state of extreme devotion that often borders on the irrational. It suggests a projection of perfection onto another person, where the admirer ignores flaws and elevates the subject to a status of flawlessness. This creates a power imbalance between the admirer and the admired, often seen in celebrity culture or early stages of romantic infatuation.
Because it refers to an abstract process or state of mind, the word is treated as an uncountable mass noun. It does not typically take a plural form in standard usage, as it describes a general phenomenon rather than individual, countable instances. To refer to specific occurrences, one would use a partitive construction such as a period of idolization.
