From Latin benedictus “blessed,” past participle of benedicere (“to speak well of, bless”), from bene (“well”) + dicere (“to say”).

लैटिन benedictus (“धन्य/आशीर्वादित”) से, जो benedicere (“अच्छा कहना, आशीर्वाद देना”) का भूतकालिक कृदंत है; bene (“अच्छा/भला”) + dicere (“कहना”)।

Benedicted means formally blessed or consecrated, especially in a religious context; it can also (rarely) mean spoken of with blessing or praise.

Benedicted का अर्थ है औपचारिक रूप से आशीर्वाद दिया हुआ या पवित्र/अभिषिक्त किया हुआ, विशेषकर धार्मिक संदर्भ में; यह (दुर्लभ) रूप से ‘आशीष या प्रशंसा के साथ उल्लेखित’ भी हो सकता है।
