blessed
Touched by grace
Blessed functions as both adjective and verb form.
As an adjective, it describes someone or something that has received divine favor or is considered holy: the blessed sacrament, blessed are the meek.
It extends to mean fortunate or happy in a general sense: We're blessed to have such good neighbors.
In casual speech, blessed often serves as a mild euphemism for cursed or damned: I can't find a blessed thing in this house.
The verb blessed is the past tense of bless.
