An event or outcome that seems partly miraculous or partially inexplicable but not fully wondrous or divine.
From demi- (half) + miracle (from Latin miraculum, wonder). This rare literary term appears occasionally in Renaissance and Romantic texts to describe ambiguous or questionable wonders.
Religious skeptics and rationalist writers loved the word 'demiracle' to describe events that believers called miracles but that might have natural explanations—a perfect word for theological debate.
