Alexander Dumas has a wonderful phrase, which is more beautiful, and even more magnificent, to go up from the abyss after a terrible fall than to walk near the abyss without seeing it, blinded by a dense bandage of happiness. Truly so, and there is nothing to add, except one thing - what does it mean "more magnificent"?
Majestic is ...
The first thing you should start with is to turn to the explanatory dictionaries of the modern Russian language for editing by such famous linguists as Efremova T.F., Ushakov D.N., Ozhegov S.I. There are no disagreements between the above authors on the lexical unit. They all agree that the majestic is “full of solemn beauty, greatness”, which makes a significant impression, has an impressive appearance, a proud, regal posture (about a person). For example, magnificent harmony, magnificent panorama, magnificent accomplishments and so on.
Synonyms
This token has many synonyms. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Before announcing the entire list, it is necessary to remember and indicate what a synonym is. In linguistics - the science of language, the term "synonym" means such lexical units that are basically the same part of speech, have similar meanings, but differ in spelling and sound.
What is the synonym for the word "majestic" in the meaning of "full of beauty, greatness"? He is not alone in speaking of the greatness of the Russian language. We offer a complete list: majestic, important, regal, adventurous, sovereign, grandiose, monumental, solemn, epic, impressive, worthy, proud, holy. One more reference publication, the Dictionary of Russian Synonyms, authored by N. Abramov, containing more than 300 thousand words and phrases, helped to find this information.
Paronymic couple
Continuing the theme “The majestic is ...” it is impossible to ignore the issue of paronymy. As you know, between the words in speech, as well as between people in any society, there are certain relationships. Their nature depends, firstly, on the values expressed by these tokens, as well as on the phonetic design. Further, we will not delve into the essence of the problem, but dwell only on one type of relationship - paronyms. These are words similar in sound, but having different lexical meanings. What does this have to do with the analyzed token?
The fact is that this word forms a paronymic pair “great - majestic”. They have an external resemblance - they have a common root and are united by one semantic connection, but their meaning and use should be distinguished. Great is huge, very large, exceeding its usual size; important (a great thinker, a great country, a great people). Majestic is solemn, majestic (majestic posture, majestic building, majestic gait).
