Definitions and examples are taken from various scientific dictionaries and lexicons, whereas the Polish medieval specifics of the usage of the word is analyzed on the basis of {Dictionary of the Medieval Latin from Polish Sources} and {Corpus of the Polish Medieval Hagiography}. The corpus containing {Lives} and {Miracles} of the Polish saints is a subdivision of the big {Corpus of Medieval Latin in Polish Lands}. All the queries were being led using multi-tool platform TXM.
