What does miraculous mean?
Miraculous is used to describe something done by or involving a supernatural power, as in Rising from the dead is a miraculous feat!
This sense of miraculous is frequently limited to religious use. In many faiths, something being miraculous implies an action of a deity. However, some people believe that something can be miraculous due to the forces of nature.

Where does miraculous come from?
The first records of the term miraculous come from the 1400s. It comes from the Medieval Latin mÄ«rÄculÅsus.
Miraculous, preternatural, and supernatural all describe something that seems to exceed natural laws. Miraculous is used to describe something that naturally, or unnaturally, goes beyond what was once thought possible in a certain field or situation. This is why many people use miraculous to describe medical treatments, because the advancement of medical technology routinely creates solutions for problems that were once unsolvable.
