Definition
Relating to, involving, or characterized by genuflection or the act of kneeling.
Etymology
From genuflect + -ory (relating to or serving to), creating an adjective form that describes things connected to the practice of kneeling. The suffix -ory comes from Latin -orius.
Kelly Says
Genuflectory is a rare adjective that shows how English creates words to describe entire categories of behavior—it's like the language is saying 'there are things that are fundamentally about kneeling, and here's the word for them.'
