the.com/meekness
the restraint of someone who could wreck you but chooses not to.
means The quality of being gentle, humble, and patient — not weakness, but a controlled, unforced calm in temperament.
from From Old Norse 'mjúkr,' meaning soft, pliant, or supple — the same family that gave English 'meek' itself. The '-ness' is the workhorse Old English suffix that turns a quality into a noun. So at root, meekness is about being bendable rather than brittle — a softness that holds, not snaps.
original meaningGreek 'praus' described a war horse trained to obey
not weaknessPower held under control, not power absent
biblical rewardThe meek inherit the earth, per Matthew
