Grature (n.)
/ˈgrā-chər/ or /ˈgrat-yu̇r/ (pronunciation flexible, depending on robe softness)
The act of granting metaphor the weight and dignity of structured thought, without stripping it of its symbolic magic.
A blend of gravity and grandeur—originating from a mistyped word in a conversation about childlike metaphor and adult systems.
