gravitas
의미: Dignity, seriousness, and weight of manner that commands respect and conveys authority.
Gravitas is one of the Roman virtues and retains its Latin form in English, lending it an elevated, classical register. It is frequently used in political commentary and arts criticism, collocating with 'natural,' 'intellectual,' and 'lack of.' The word implies a sober authority that is innate rather than performed, and its absence is often noted as a failing in public figures.
