seraphic
UK: sɪˈræfɪk | US: səˈræfɪk
adj. resembling or characteristic of a seraph; angelic, pure, or blissful
adj. having a sweet, radiant, or heavenly quality
The word "seraphic" derives from "seraph," a term for the highest order of angels in Christian theology, originating from the Hebrew "seraphim" (meaning "fiery ones" or "burning ones"). The suffix "-ic" (from Latin "-icus" via French) transforms the noun into an adjective, conveying qualities of purity, radiance, or divine beauty. The evolution reflects the association of seraphim with celestial light and spiritual ecstasy.
