    Beatification is a step in the Catholic Church. If the Pope someone, he says officially that this dead person was holy, and that people may honour them in a limited way. After that, the person is called Blessed (not Saint yet). Canonization — making someone a saint — comes later, if it comes at all. So beatification is not the final crown; it is a public, careful 'yes, this life showed holiness.' You will meet the word in news about the Vatican, not in everyday chat. It is a technical church word, though newspapers use it without explaining. The root is the same as : Latin beātus, blessed. The Church is, in a formal way, declaring that blessedness. Ordinary English borrowed the noun from French and Latin; it did not grow out of the English verb beat.
