Definition of mighty

The word "mighty" has its roots in Old English. The original word was "meotod", which was derived from the Proto-Germanic word "*maþiz", meaning "power" or "strength". This Proto-Germanic word is also the source of the Modern English word "may" and the Gothic word "maþiza", meaning "powerful". In Old English, "meotod" was used as an adjective to describe something or someone that is powerful, strong, or mighty. For example, the phrase "meotod cyning" meant "mighty king". This word was later adapted into Middle English as "mety", and eventually evolved into the Modern English word "mighty". Today, the word "mighty" is often used to describe something or someone that is impressive, powerful, or awe-inspiring. For example, "The mighty lion roared through the jungle" or "The mighty river flowed effortlessly through the valley".
