Etymology

The word 'sublimer' is derived from the Latin 'sublimis', meaning 'uplifted' or 'high'. The concept of the sublime has roots in ancient philosophy, particularly with the Roman philosopher Longinus, who wrote about the sublime in the context of literature and rhetoric. In the 18th century, the notion was expanded by European philosophers like Edmund Burke and Immanuel Kant, who explored the psychological and emotional aspects of experiencing the sublime. The term 'sublimer' itself began to be used to denote entities or experiences that could elevate one's emotional or aesthetic state. Over time, it has found its place in discussions about art and nature, both of which can invoke a sense of the sublime.
