Enheaven

/ɪnˈhɛvən/ verb

Definition

To make heavenly or to elevate to a state of bliss and divine perfection.

Etymology

From 'en-' plus 'heaven,' from Old English 'heofen,' likely from Germanic roots meaning 'high' or 'lifted up.' The concept of heaven as a high place influenced the word's formation.

Kelly Says

Medieval poets used 'enheaven' to describe the moment when earthly beauty seemed divine—a perfect sunset or an angel's face could 'enheaven' your soul, lifting you temporarily into paradise.
