QUE SIGNIFIE GENUFLECT EN ANGLAIS

Génuflexion

Genuflection

Genuflection, pliant au moins un genou au sol, était, dès le début, un geste de profond respect pour un supérieur. En 328 av. J.-C., Alexandre le Grand a introduit dans son étiquette de cour une forme de génuflection déjà utilisée en Perse. Dans l'Empire byzantin, même les sénateurs devaient faire preuve de genuflection à l'empereur. Dans l'Europe médiévale, on a fait preuve de respect pour un roi ou un noble en descendant sur un genou, restant souvent là jusqu'à ce qu'on lui dise de se lever. Il est traditionnellement souvent pratiqué dans les cultures occidentales par un homme faisant une proposition de mariage. Plus récemment, le geste est largement limité aux pratiques religieuses catholiques. Le mot latin genuflectio, dont le mot anglais est dérivé, signifiait initialement agenouillé plutôt que la chute rapide à un genou et augmentait immédiatement ce qui devenait habituel en Europe occidentale au moyen âge.

Genuflection, bending at least one knee to the ground, was from early times a gesture of deep respect for a superior. In 328 BC, Alexander the Great introduced into his court-etiquette some form of genuflection already in use in Persia. In the Byzantine Empire even senators were required to genuflect to the emperor. In medieval Europe, one demonstrated respect for a king or noble by going down on one knee, often remaining there until told to rise. It is traditionally often performed in western cultures by a male making a proposal of marriage. More recently, the gesture is largely restricted to Catholic religious practices. The Latin word genuflectio, from which the English word is derived, originally meant kneeling rather than the rapid dropping to one knee and immediately rising that became customary in Western Europe in the Middle Ages.
