title for a king or queen
A very formal title used when you speak to or talk about a king, queen, or emperor, for example, “Your Majesty” or “Her Majesty the Queen.”
用法模式：
to address [a king or queen] as "Your Majesty"
常见错误：
Learners sometimes write "your majesty" with a lowercase "m" when it is used as a title. In formal writing, capitalize it in direct address and titles ("Your Majesty", "Her Majesty"). Another mistake is using it for non-royal leaders like presidents; this title is reserved for monarchs and similar royalty.
近义词
Your Highness (Used for princes, princesses, and some other royals; slightly less elevated rank than “Your Majesty.”)
反义词
commoner (Refers to an ordinary person without royal title, contrasting with someone addressed as “Majesty.”)

impressive grandeur or beauty
A strong feeling of beauty and greatness that something has, especially when it is large or very special, like mountains or a big old building.
用法模式：
the majesty of [something]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes confuse "majesty" (a noun) with "majestic" (an adjective). Use "majesty" as a thing ("the majesty of the mountains"), and "majestic" before a noun ("majestic mountains").
近义词
grandeur (Very close in meaning; focuses on large, impressive quality without the royal association of “majesty.”)
反义词

formal dignity of authority
The very serious power and respect that an important system or ruler, like the law or a king, is believed to have.
用法模式：

Learners may misread phrases like "the majesty of the law" as only talking about beauty. In this formal sense, it refers mainly to the serious power and dignity of the law or state, not to visual appearance.
近义词
sovereignty (Focuses specifically on ultimate political authority, while “majesty” adds a feeling of solemn dignity.)
反义词
