Rising to a great height or extending far upward, or figuratively describing ideals, ambitions, or thoughts that are noble, elevated, or impressive in scope and character.

Where the word comes from

From Middle English "lofti," derived from Old Norse "lopt," meaning sky or air. The Norse word gave rise to "loft" (an upper room or space), and the adjective "lofty" originally described something positioned high up. Over time, it came to mean physically tall or elevated, and later took on the figurative sense of noble, dignified, or haughty in manner or aspiration.
