Cognate: 4587 semnótēs – properly, gravity ("gravitas"), referring to what has real weight (dignity); hence, veneration for what is worthy of respect (personal admiration). See 4586 (semnos).

This root (semno-) refers to what deserves due reverence; it has a "sense of gravity and dignity, that invites reverence" (R. Trench). 4587 /semnótēs ("dignity because weighty") refers to what is august (venerable, time-honored), i.e. "solemnly respectable." 4587 (semnótēs) reflects what has been transformed by God and exhibits "moral and spiritual gravity (gravitas)" – like what attends a deep, godly character. This sense of dignity also invites reverence from others, who should likewise exalt what is noble (morally-elevated).
