SUBLIME (Verb)

Meaning- 1) to cause to pass directly from the solid to the vapor state and condense back to solid form.

                                                           SUBLIME (Adj.)

Meaning- 1) So beautiful as to seem almost heavenly.

                        2) Of high, spiritual, moral, or intellectual worth.

Mnemonic trick- Sublimation means conversion of solid into vapour without converting into liquid. In this process, substance has converted into another form without existing in one form. Therefore, sublime means something that can’ t exist or something so good or beautiful as to seem almost heavenly.
