celestial

celestial
celestial late 14c., from O.Fr. celestial "celestial, heavenly, sky-blue," from L. caelestis "heavenly, pertaining to the sky," from caelum "heaven, sky; abode of the gods; climate," of uncertain origin; perhaps from PIE *kaid-slo-, from a root meaning "bright." The Latin word is the source of the usual word for "sky" in most of the Romance languages, e.g. French ciel, Sp. cielo, It. cielo.
