Polyolbiosis (translated literally as polyvalent beatitude or polyvalent blessedness) is a word coined by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, recorded in his notebooks.
The English scholar Alistair Ian Blyth remarks that the term is a:
- "compound dream word that coalesced during laudanum reverie, a hapax legomenon unique to Coleridge: "state of polyvalent beatitude" (ὄλβιος, ον happy, blessed, -ωσις suffix forming nouns of process or condition)".[1]
Alethea Hayter and others have claimed this word is the equivalent of Thomas De Quincey's 'involute'.
