Venia

Venia is a word that has different meanings depending on the context. Here are some of them:

  • When talking about history, venia refers to a penitent's act of kneeling or prostrating on the ground as a sign of repentance.
  • In legal contexts, venia can mean a pardon or the granting of a privilege.
