revere
verb
Definition: to treat or regard somebody with admiration and deep respect
Synonyms: admire, esteem, regard, respect, venerate
Antonyms: disrespect, disdain, contemn
Tips: Revere is derived from the Latin revereri, from vereri, “to be in awe of.” The adjective form, revered, means "respected or looked up to" and is actually used more often than the verb. Memory trick: think of Paul Revere, who will forever be revered by children who read of his bravery in the Revolutionary War. Revere is also closely related to the noun reverence; "deep respect."
Usage Examples:
I revere doctors who donate their time and resources to help those who cannot afford medical care. (admire, respect)
The once-revered CEO lost the respect of his employees when he admitted to embezzling funds for his own profit. (admired, respected) adjective
I have great reverence for anyone who gives up a high-paying, corporate job to become a teacher. (high regard, respect) noun
Paul Revere is revered by every child who reads about his courageous horse rides. (admired)
