English[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From Middle English celebraten, from Latin celebratus, past pariticiple of celebrō (“frequent, go to in great numbers, celebrate, honor, praise”), from celeber (“frequented, populous”). Displaced native Old English fæġnian.

Pronunciation[edit]

IPA^(key): /ˈsɛl.ɪ.bɹeɪt/, /ˈsɛl.ə.bɹeɪt/

Verb[edit]

celebrate (third-person singular simple present celebrates, present participle celebrating, simple past and past participle celebrated)

Synonym: fete

to celebrate the name of the Most High
- 2016 August 7, “Journalism”, in Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, season 3, episode 20, HBO:
  
  Okay, that is simply not true. If that were the case, you wouldn’t need to have an Olympics. The whole reason we do this is to find out who is better than everyone else, so that we can make them stand higher than the other people who are not as good as them, because the point of the games is not to celebrate equality. It is to celebrate individuals’ excellence. So let us all settle in for two incredible weeks of celebrating the fittest, the bravest, the most beautiful and of course, the drunkest of us all. “Did somebody say ‘party’?”
(transitive) To honour by rites, by ceremonies of joy and respect, or by refraining from ordinary business; to observe duly.
