EN: venerable
This is next-level 'lodi'. It's not just 'respeto', it's the kind of respect you give to a National Artist, a highly esteemed elder, or a religious figure. It’s the vibe you get when someone walks into a room and everyone just knows they're in the presence of greatness. The opposite of 'cancel culture'.
From 'ka-' (intensifier) + 'pitagan' (respect).
ROOT MEANING: respect; reverence
A very formal and poetic word. Used to describe people, institutions, or traditions held in very high esteem.
