This root (semno-) refers to what deserves due reverence; it has a "sense of gravity and dignity, that invites reverence" (R. Trench). 4587 /semnótēs ("dignity because weighty") refers to what is august (venerable, time-honored), i.e. "solemnly respectable." 4587 (semnótēs) reflects what has been transformed by God and exhibits "moral and spiritual gravity (gravitas)" – like what attends a deep, godly character.
