The sublime shows brilliance or excellence.
Sublime is an adjective that qualifies that or that which has excellence, perfection or brilliance . Its etymological origin is found in the Latin sublimis , which is made up of two clearly delimited parts: the prefix sub- , which can be translated as “low” ; and the noun limis , which is synonymous with “limit” or “threshold” .
For example: “The Swiss tennis player played a sublime match and easily defeated the world number one” , “Luciano Pavarotti was a sublime singer, capable of moving the public with his voice” , “This restaurant is sublime! “Duck a la orange is a true delicacy .”
The sublime can be understood as a category of aesthetics . This conception is attributed to Longinus , who used the term to describe works that generate delight and extreme pleasure in human beings . The sublime, in this sense, is something sublime, which approaches the divine.
Sublime, a conjugation of sublimate
Sublime is also a conjugation of the verb to sublimate : to exalt or, in the field of physics , to make a matter go from the solid state to the gaseous state directly.
Sublimation , therefore, is a process that allows a substance to be taken from the solid state to the gaseous state without going through the liquid state. Regressive sublimation , on the other hand, is the reverse procedure: “When this element is sublime, the scientist must contain it with a suitable container.”
A sublime creation is perfect or close to perfection.
The term as a denomination

The Sublime Band
Bradley Nowell, Eric Wilson y Bud Gaugh, por otra parte, eran los integrantes de una banda estadounidense de rock llamada Sublime.
This group was created in 1988 and remained active until 1996 , when Nowell died due to an overdose. A curiosity is that Sublime 's most successful album was released a few months after the death of its singer.
The concept in history
We cannot forget the existence of what is known as the Sublime Door either. This is an expression used to refer to the government of the Ottoman Empire and is also called the Elevated Gate or Ottoman Gate .
The notion works to a certain extent as a metaphor with the entrance door of the government building that was located in the capital of the aforementioned empire, which was none other than the current Istanbul .
