This word is spelled as /səˈblaɪmɪŋ/, with the first syllable pronounced as "suh," the second syllable as "blaim," and the final syllable as "ing." The "e" at the end is added to indicate that the word is a present participle. Proper spelling is important to accurately convey the intended meaning of a word.

SUBLIMING Meaning and Definition

1. Subliming refers to the process of transitioning a substance from a solid directly to a gas state without passing through the liquid state. The word "sublime" in this context is derived from the Latin term sublimis, meaning "uplifted" or "lofty." This phenomenon occurs due to the specific conditions of temperature and pressure.

   During sublimation, the solid substance bypasses the liquid phase and transforms directly into vapor or gas when heated. This conversion takes place when the substance's vapor pressure exceeds the atmospheric pressure, causing it to volatilize. As heat is applied to the solid, its particles gain sufficient energy to break the intermolecular bonds and escape into the surrounding environment as gas, resulting in sublimation.

   Subliming is observed in various substances, such as dry ice (solid carbon dioxide), solid air fresheners, and certain solids with volatile components like iodine crystals. The reverse process, known as deposition, occurs when the gas molecules lose energy and become a solid without passing through the liquid phase.

   Sublimation finds applications in various fields, including chemistry, physics, and industry. It is often used for purification purposes, as impurities are left behind during the sublimation of a solid substance. In addition, sublimation has uses in freeze-drying (lyophilization) processes, where water or other solvents are removed from a substance without causing damage.

   In summary, subliming refers to the conversion of a solid substance into a gas state without transitioning through the liquid phase, facilitated by specific conditions of temperature and pressure.

2. • Elevating.

Etymology of SUBLIMING

The term "subliming" is derived from the verb "sublime", which dates back to the early 16th century. It originates from the Latin word "sublimis", meaning "lofty" or "elevated". In its original usage, "sublime" referred to something noble, awe-inspiring, or reaching a high level of excellence. Over time, the term expanded to include the concept of transformation or conversion of a substance directly from a solid to a gas (by bypassing the liquid state), which is known as sublimation. Hence, "subliming" is a gerund form of the verb "sublime" used to describe the process of sublimation.
