CHE SIGNIFICA BEND THE KNEE IN INGLESE

genuflessione

Genuflection

La genuflessione, piegando almeno un ginocchio al suolo, era sin dall'inizio un gesto di profondo rispetto per un superiore. Nel 328 aC, Alessandro Magno introdusse nella sua corte-etichetta una forma di genuflezione già in uso in Persia. Nell'Impero Bizantino anche i senatori erano tenuti a genuflettarsi all'imperatore. Nell'Europa medievale, uno ha mostrato rispetto per un re o nobile, scendendo su un ginocchio, spesso rimanendo lì fino a quando non è stato detto di salire. Tradizionalmente spesso viene eseguito nelle culture occidentali da un maschio che propone una proposta di matrimonio. Più di recente, il gesto è in gran parte limitato alle pratiche religiose cattoliche. La parola latina genuflectio, da cui deriva la parola inglese, originariamente significava inginocchiarsi piuttosto che il rapido calo a un ginocchio e immediatamente in aumento che divenne consueto in Europa occidentale nel Medioevo.

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.
