Relating to carrying or being carried, especially in a formal or ceremonial way.
From Latin 'gestatorius' (relating to carrying), derived from 'gestare' (to carry). This learned term emerged to describe the act of bearing or conveying, particularly in classical and religious contexts.
A 'gestatorial chair' was a fancy palanquin used to carry the Pope through Vatican ceremonies—it's how you'd see the church leader literally being 'borne' aloft on the shoulders of others!
