sublime has 15 distinct synonyms spread across 6 of its 7 senses. Each sense below keeps its own list, because a synonym belongs to a meaning and not to a word: swapping one sense's substitute into another sense's sentence is how a thesaurus makes writing worse. WordNet records no antonym for it — antonymy is a relation between word forms rather than concepts, so it is deliberately sparse.
Counts are distinct word forms across every sense. A synonym that appears under three senses is counted once here and shown three times below, under each sense it belongs to.
worthy of adoration or reverence
of high moral or intellectual value; elevated in nature or style
“an exalted ideal”
change or cause to change directly from a solid into a vapor without first melting
“sublime iodine”
