More About Miraculous

What does miraculous mean?

Miraculous is used to describe something done by or involving a supernatural power, as in Rising from the dead is a miraculous feat!

This sense of miraculous is frequently limited to religious use. In many faiths, something being miraculous implies an action of a deity. However, some people believe that something can be miraculous due to the forces of nature.

Miraculous is also used figuratively to describe something whose working isn’t well understood or whose results are exceptionally wonderful. It appears to work by miracle, that is, an action by a deity. You might hear medicines or cures described as miraculous because they seem to work by miracle or the results are so wonderful, like the results of a miracle would be.

Example: The acquisition went through miraculously and everyone got what they wanted.

Where does miraculous come from?

The first records of the term miraculous come from the 1400s. It comes from the Medieval Latin ī峦ܱōܲ.

Miraculous, preternatural, and supernatural all describe something that seems to exceed natural laws. Miraculous is used to describe something that naturally, or unnaturally, goes beyond what was once thought possible in a certain field or situation. This is why many people use miraculous to describe medical treatments, because the advancement of medical technology routinely creates solutions for problems that were once unsolvable.
