Your Worship
Courtroom formal greeting
Your Worship is a formal address for certain officials, particularly mayors and magistrates in British Commonwealth countries.
It functions like Your Honor but carries a more ceremonial tone: Your Worship, may I present the delegation from Bristol.
The term acknowledges the dignity of the office rather than suggesting religious veneration.
