uniesieniu

Uniesienie is a Polish noun meaning the act of lifting or raising something. In addition to its literal sense, it can describe an emotional or spiritual uplift, a mood of exaltation or inspiration. The term is used in technical, literary, and religious contexts.

Etymology: The word derives from the verb unieść, meaning to lift up, formed with the prefix u- attached to nieść (to carry). It is a neuter noun and is used in various compound phrases depending on the context, such as uniesienie ciężaru (lifting a load) or uniesienie flagi (raising a flag).

Usage: In a physical sense, uniesienie describes the lifting of objects, hoisting, or raising items during handling, construction, or ceremonial occasions. In figurative use, it refers to an elevation of mood or spirit: uniesienie ducha or uniesienie umysłu, indicating inner uplift, inspiration, or heightened emotion. In literary and theological writing, the term can convey awe, reverence, or profound spiritual experience, though it often shares space with synonyms like ekstaza or ekstazowe uniesienie.
