Where does the word exalted come from?

"Exalted" traces its roots back to the Latin word "exaltāre," meaning "to raise up" or "to elevate." This word was formed from the prefix "ex-" (out, from) and the verb "altus" (high, lofty). Over time, "exaltāre" evolved into the Middle English "exalten," and eventually, the modern English "exalt." The word has maintained its sense of raising to a higher position or level, both physically and figuratively, whether in terms of status, power, or spiritual elevation.
