benedicite
The 2nd pers. pl. imperative of the Latin verb, benedicere, meaning "bless you," or "may you be blessed." In the first given sense it is the opening word of many old graces ("Bless ye the Lord," etc.); hence, a grace, or a blessing. The second sense accounts for its use as an interjection or expression of astonishment, as in Chaucer's
The god of love, A benedicite, How mighty and how great a lord is he!
