venerable
의미: Accorded great respect on account of age, wisdom, or character; impressively old and dignified.
Venerable combines age with dignity and respect. 'A venerable institution,' 'a venerable tradition,' and 'the venerable professor' are standard collocations. In the Church of England, 'The Venerable' is the title given to an archdeacon. In Catholic usage, it is a stage in the process of canonisation. Outside religious contexts, the word is often applied to buildings, organisations, and customs that have endured for a long time and command respect precisely because of their age.
