'this?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'a lofty tribute's constructed with initiation of eiffel' is the wordplay.
'constructed with' indicates an anagram.
'initiation of' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'eiffel' is 'e'.
'a'+'lofty'+'tributes'='aloftytributes'
'aloftytributes' with its letters mixed up with 'e' makes 'STATUE OF LIBERTY'.
