Word Of The Day! 'clement' by Researchclue: 10:15am On Oct 19, 2020 |
Word Of The Day! Clement [ klem-uhnt ] :- mild or merciful in disposition or character; lenient; compassionate. E.g: I know you are more clement than vile men Who of their broken debtors take a third … WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF CLEMENT? Clement, “mild in disposition, merciful,” comes from Latin clēmēns (inflectional stem clēment-) “merciful, lenient, mild (of weather), calm (of water).” Clēmēns has no reliable etymology; its most common derivative is the noun clēmentia “clemency, leniency.” The phrase “clemency of Caesar” is not much used nowadays: It comes from Latin Clēmentia Caesaris, which first appears as part of an inscription on a Roman coin dating to 44 b.c., therefore shortly before Caesar’s assassination, and a nice bit of propaganda in his honor. Clement entered English in the late 15th century.
