Emily Dickinson Lexicon

MI-RAC'U-LOUS, a.

1. 1. Performed supernaturally, or by power beyond the ordinary agency of natural laws; effected by the direct agency of Almighty power, and not by natural causes; as, the miraculous healing of the sick or raising the dead by Christ.
2. Supernatural; furnished supernaturally, or competent to perform miracles; as, the miraculous powers of the Apostles. Miraculous, applied to the extraordinary powers of the Apostles, may mean conferred by supernatural agency, or competent to work miracles. I believe it is generally used in the latter sense.
3. In a less definite sense, wonderful; extraordinary.
