Empyreal

/emˈpɪriəl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to heaven or the highest heaven; consisting of pure fire or spiritual essence; supremely exalted or sublime.

Etymology

From Latin 'empyreus' derived from Greek 'empyros' (fiery), which combined 'en-' (in) and 'pyr' (fire). Medieval theology used this to describe the highest celestial realm where pure fire or divine essence existed.

Kelly Says

Medieval theologians used 'empyreal' to describe the realm of pure divine fire above the physical heavens—it's fascinating that our modern word 'empire' and 'empyreal' share similar roots, but one describes earthly dominion while the other describes heavenly perfection.
