exalted
/ɪɡˈzɔːltɪd/
This word is most commonly used in formal contexts. When describing a person's rank, it suggests not just power, but also a high level of respect. When used to describe a style of speaking or writing, it means the language is very grand and emotional, often more so than everyday speech. Be careful not to confuse 'exalted' (the state of being high) with 'exulted' (feeling great joy), as they sound similar but have different meanings.
💬Trò chuyện
🎬Tuesday afternoon, David is in a meeting while Jessica is frantically organizing the quarterly review files.
David Smith
I'm pivoting our strategy to put the CEO in an exalted position for the keynote.
Jessica
Stop using buzzwords and just tell me if he's speaking first or last.
💡
David uses 'exalted' in a pseudo-corporate way to sound visionary, while Jessica's response reflects her stress and preference for concrete details over vague, lofty language. The phrase 'pivoting our strategy' is a common corporate cliché used here to highlight David's persona.
