Morphology

glorifier = glorify (transparent) = glory + ify + er

Standard agent-noun formation: adding '-er' to the verb 'glorify' yields 'one who glorifies'.

Etymology

The word glorifier comes from glory, which means 'honour' or 'praise', and from the verb glorify, meaning 'to give glory' or 'to make something seem great'. So a glorifier is someone who 'gives praise' or makes something appear more important or wonderful.
