MormonTimes.com: Word of the week: 'Meek'
"Learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart." (Matthew 11:28)
Meek comes from the root soft, to soften, pliable, and gentle. The Oxford English Dictionary defines meek as gentle, courteous, kind. A meek person is free from haughtiness and self will, is humble and submissive. A meek person is not violent or strongly assertive, but mild.
