benignant

/bᵻnˈɪɡnənt/ adj C1

beneficial

Word Origin Benignant is a less common form of benign, both meaning 'kindly, gracious'. It's built from Latin bene 'well' and genus 'birth, kind' — literally 'well-born', which in Roman times implied noble character. The same roots give us benefit (well-doing), benevolent (well-wishing), and gentle (from gentilis, of the same clan). So benignant carries the old idea that good breeding produces good nature.
