This is the correct use of elucidate, "to make light of". Perfectly cromulent.

While OP’s usage of elucidate was accurate, your definition is off. Perhaps you were thinking of “to shed light on”?

“To make light of“ would be to downplay the significance of something.

    You're right. I meant to make lucid.
