EN: pedestal
That thing you put someone on when you admire them so much, you think they can do no wrong. 'Inilagay kita sa pedestal, 'tas bigla kang nahulog.' It's the base for a statue, but in modern hugot, it's the imaginary high place you put your crush or idol, only to be disappointed later. It’s the emotional equivalent of a display stand.
From Spanish 'pedestal'.
Can be used literally for a physical base or figuratively for high regard.
