If you "venerate" something, you treat it with a huge
amount of respect or reverence. It means that you treat it essentially like a holy
object. The word "venerate" comes from the same word as the word "revere." That might
help you to better understand what "venerate" means.
So, to
use "venerate" in a sentence, think about something or someone that some group of people
treat as holy. You could say things like:
- The
Spanish national soccer team was venerated by the Spanish public after it won the World
Cup. - One of the most venerated figures in recent history
was Mother Teresa, who was widely revered for her work with poor people in
India.
In both cases, you have a person or
people being treated with a huge amount of respect and
admiration.
