उत्क्रोशयति (utkrozayati)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
utkrośayati (denom. to AMg. ukkosa, see below), exalts, magnifies: AsP 〔419.4〕 ātmānam utkrośayati parān paṃsayati. The AMg. ukkosa is derived by Sheth and Ratnach. from utkarṣa (or utkṛṣṭa) and defined as adj., highest, supreme, or, as n., pride. If this is the true etym., our word would be a hyper-Sktism, by false etym. Possibly, however, the AMg. word may really represent a Skt. *utkrośa, which, like Eng. a crying-up, could conceivably have meant glorification. To be sure I find no record, otherwise, of such a mg. in any deriv. of ut-kruś.
