What does REGAL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Relating to or fitting for a king or queen; royal, majestic or splendid in a manner associated with monarchy.
The word marks anything that carries the bearing, grandeur or ceremony expected of a ruling monarch, whether it describes an actual coronation or is applied loosely to a grand staircase, a stately building or even a pet that struts about with obvious self-importance. It derives from the Latin word for king, the same root that gives English royal and reign, though regal now leans more toward describing dignity and splendour than legal authority. Fashion and interior design writers use it often to suggest luxury without naming a specific monarch.
How REGAL is used
Often used figuratively of buildings, clothing or manners that suggest royal grandeur.
- The palace hall was decorated in a regal style.
- She wore a regal gown to the coronation ceremony.
- He carried himself with a regal bearing.
- The cat perched on the cushion looked almost regal.
