Blessed be
Aramaic verb meaning to bless, to show favor toward, or to pronounce a blessing over someone or something. The term can encompass both verbal pronouncements of blessing (invoking divine favor or well-being) and acts of showing favor or approval. In special contexts, particularly in indirect or euphemistic usage (especially regarding 'blessing' God or rulers in situations of adversity), it may function as a circumlocution for 'curse.' The primary range, however, is the invocation or bestowing of benefit or favor, whether by deity or human agents.
