QUÉ SIGNIFICA GENUFLECT EN INGLÉS
Genuflexión
La genuflexión, doblando por lo menos una rodilla al suelo, fue desde los primeros tiempos un gesto de profundo respeto por un superior. En 328 a. C., Alejandro Magno introdujo en su etiqueta de corte alguna forma de genuflexión ya en uso en Persia. En el imperio bizantino, incluso a los senadores se les exigía que se inclinaran ante el emperador. En la Europa medieval, uno demostró respeto por un rey o un noble bajando sobre una rodilla, a menudo permaneciendo allí hasta que le dijeron que se levantara. A menudo se realiza en las culturas occidentales por un hombre haciendo una propuesta de matrimonio. Más recientemente, el gesto se limita en gran medida a las prácticas religiosas católicas. La palabra latina genuflectio, de la que se deriva la palabra inglesa, significaba originalmente arrodillarse en lugar de la rápida caída a una rodilla e inmediatamente ascendente que se hizo habitual en Europa Occidental en la Edad Media.
