Compare Middle French, French propitier (late 16th cent.; now rare), Italian propiziare (1598 in Florio as †propitiare ), both in sense 1. Compare earlier propitiate adj. Compare also slightly earlier repropitiate v., and see note at sense 1.
1. transitive. To make well-disposed or favourably inclined; to win or regain the favour of; to appease, conciliate.Quot. 1583 is from a discussion of the language of the Rheims Bible of 1582, which in fact does not use the word (cf. however quot. 1582 at repropitiate v.).
