Definition
Worthy, suitable, or deserving of respect; dignified or respectable in bearing.
Etymology
From Old French 'digne,' from Latin 'dignus' (worthy). Used primarily in Middle English and Early Modern English texts, it represents the ancestor of the modern word 'dignified.'
Kelly Says
Shakespeare and medieval writers used 'digne' all the time, but it eventually got overshadowed by 'dignified'—it's like watching one synonym slowly win out over another in real time!
