Liminal is an adjective that describes a state, place, or condition of transition between different circumstances or stages, such as the threshold between sleep and wakefulness[1][4]. It comes from the Latin word 'limen,' meaning threshold, and generally pertains to situations or experiences that exist at the border of defined categories[5][3]. For instance, it can refer to transitional spaces like airports, the period between adolescence and adulthood, or identities that exist in-between established roles[2][4][3]. Essentially, being in a liminal space signifies being on the edge of something new but not fully arrived[5].
