Definitions

  1. in a humble manner

Word origin

From Middle English mekely, mekeliche, equivalent to meek + -ly. Compare Old Norse mjúkliga.

Used in a sentence

  • When Faith and Love which parted from thee never Had ripen'd thy just soul to dwell with God, Meekly thou did'st resign this earthly load Of Death, call'd Life; which us from Life doth sever.
  • It comes from the Latin insurgo, meaning “to rise up within”: so insurrectionists are, etymologically, the same as “insurgents”, even if that is normally a word for those who do not meekly accept western military rule.
