Adjective
miraculous (comparative more miraculous, superlative most miraculous)
- Pertaining to miracles; referring to something that people can't explain.
- 2012 September 7, Phil McNulty, “Moldova 0-5 England”, in BBC Sport:
- If Moldova harboured even the slightest hopes of pulling off a comeback that would have bordered on miraculous given their lack of quality, they were snuffed out 13 minutes before the break when Oxlade-Chamberlain picked his way through midfield before releasing Defoe for a finish that should have been dealt with more convincingly by Namasco at his near post.
-
- By supernatural or uncommon causes, e.g. by a god (only used when positive).
