Senses
1. lowly, humble (in status or disposition) — Describing a person of low social standing, modest disposition, or humble character; used both of those who are socially lowly and whom God exalts (Jas 1:9, Luke 1:52) and of the disposition Christ commends (Matt 11:29, 2 Cor 10:1). Singular and plural forms carry the same adjectival meaning across different grammatical contexts. Spanish 'humilde/humildes' (humble) directly parallels; Hindi 'दीन' (sg, lowly/meek) and 'दीनों' (pl) derive from Persian-Urdu 'dīn' meaning humble/poor; Arabic 'مُتَواضِع/مُتَواضِعين' (humble/humble ones) from the root w-ḍ-ʿ (to be lowly) and 'الوَضيعُ' (the lowly one) share the same semantic root; Korean '낮은' (low, lowly) uses the native adjective for physical and metaphorical lowness; Swahili 'mnyenyekevu/wanyenyekevu' (humble person/humble people) and 'wanyonge' (the weak/lowly) distinguish inner humility from social vulnerability. 8×
