Word origin

From Medieval Latin reverentiālis, from Latin reverentia (“reverence”) + -ālis (adjectival suffix).

Used in a sentence

  • The reverential tone intensified as this section progressed. When each spectator had purportedly become her mother, she was invited to share her mother's wisdom, prefaced by the words "I always said."
  • The verb is not thereby made reflective, but preserves the same signification as if not reverential. The intransitive reverentials are said to be formed from their compulsive form, and the active from their applicative.
  • While reverentials wait / The triumph of His cosmic plan, / The Christ reclaims his millions in this martyrdom of man.
