angelic
UK: ænˈdʒelɪk | US: ænˈdʒelɪk
adj. resembling or characteristic of an angel; pure, innocent, or beautiful
adj. (theology) pertaining to angels or their nature
The word "angelic" derives from the Late Latin "angelicus," which traces back to the Greek "angelos" (meaning "messenger" or "divine envoy"). The suffix "-ic" (from Latin "-icus") transforms the noun into an adjective, denoting "related to" or "resembling." Historically, "angelos" referred to celestial beings in Judeo-Christian traditions, and the adjective "angelic" evolved to describe qualities associated with angels—purity, grace, and ethereal beauty.
