15世纪早期,“值得尊敬的”,源自古法语 venerable,直接源自拉丁语 venerabilis “值得崇敬或尊重”,源自 venerari “崇拜,尊敬”,源自 venus(属格 veneris)“美丽,爱情,欲望”(源自 PIE 词根 *wen-(1)“渴望,追求”)。作为头衔,用于指教士(在英国国教会中,特指总管教区的教士)或那些获得第一级封圣的人。相关词汇: Venerably; venerability。
Middle English, borrowed from Anglo-French & Latin; Anglo-French, borrowed from Latin venerābilis "entitled to respect," from venerārī "to solicit the good will of (a deity), hold in awe, venerate" + -bilis "capable of (acting or being acted upon)" — more at -able
