sublime
/səˈblʌɪm/adjective
So excellent or beautiful that it inspires awe.
Example sentences
- “The chef's tasting menu was absolutely sublime.”
- “From the mountaintop, the view of the valley at dawn was sublime.”
A strong word; save it for genuine awe rather than anything merely nice. The set phrase 'from the sublime to the ridiculous' plays on this weight.
