What does AUGUST mean in Scrabble?
adjective
formalliterary
Inspiring respect and admiration through an impressive, dignified or noble appearance or manner.
August describes people, institutions or occasions that command respect through their dignity, grandeur or long-standing authority, such as an august assembly of judges or an august old building. The word carries a formal, slightly elevated tone and rarely appears in casual speech, fitting more naturally into ceremonial or literary writing. It is unrelated in everyday meaning to the month August, though both ultimately trace back to the Latin augustus, meaning venerable or majestic, once used as an imperial title.
