Verb
unsensualize (third-person singular simple present unsensualizes, present participle unsensualizing, simple past and past participle unsensualized)
(transitive) To elevate from the domain of the senses; to purify.
Hence the soft couch, and many-colour'd robe,
The timbrel and arch'd dome and costly feast,
With all th' inventive arts that nurse the soul
To forms of beauty; and by sensual wants
Unsensualize the mind, which in the Means
Learns to forget the grossness of the End,
Best pleasur'd with its own activity.
