majestic
의미: Having or showing impressive beauty, scale, or dignity; stately and grand in a way that inspires awe.
Majestic evokes the grandeur associated with royalty — the word derives from 'majesty' — but is applied freely to landscapes, architecture, animals, and natural phenomena. A majestic mountain, a majestic eagle, a majestic cathedral: the word always implies imposing scale and a certain dignity or nobility. It is particularly common in travel writing and nature documentaries, and in descriptions of ceremonial occasions. Unlike 'magnificent,' which can be exuberant, majestic implies composure and gravity.
