“Of or pertaining to almsgiving or charity” is what most dictionaries will tell you.  I find both the word beautiful in appearance, sound, and texture when spoken.  It rolls off the tongue like water, has a lilt when heard that makes it sound almost elven, and even looks foreign when read.  But it finally imparts awareness of a very dignified, selfless and honorable action.  That, and most people have never heard of it.
