Sublimely: meaning, definitions and examples

The word 'sublimely' is derived from the adjective 'sublime', which comes from the Latin 'sublimis', meaning 'high, elevated'. The term has been used in English since the late 16th century, reflecting not only physical height but also moral elevation. The use of 'sublime' in aesthetics relates to the ideas of beauty and grandeur, particularly those that transcend ordinary experience. This concept of sublimity became particularly prominent in the Romantic period, where it was associated with the awe-inspiring power of nature and art. Over time, derived forms, like 'sublimely', emerged to describe actions or states that embody the qualities of the sublime.
