alegorizar

A literary and academic verb meaning to express or interpret something as an allegory — alegorizar un mito, alegorizar la lucha del bien contra el mal. Confined almost entirely to literary criticism and art history.

• El pintor alegorizó la justicia con una figura con los ojos vendados. — The painter allegorized justice with a blindfolded figure.
• La crítica alegoriza el relato como una lucha entre el orden y el caos. — The critic reads the story allegorically, as a struggle between order and chaos.
• Los escritores medievales solían alegorizar los vicios y virtudes. — Medieval writers often allegorized vices and virtues.

This is specialized academic vocabulary — the real risk is simply not recognizing it outside literary-analysis or art-history contexts, not misusing it in daily conversation.
