   See {Master}.]
   1. Of or pertaining to a master or magistrate, or one in
      authority; having the manner of a magister; official;
      commanding; authoritative. Hence: Overbearing;
      dictatorial; dogmatic.

            called.                               --Glover.

            We are not magisterial in opinions, nor,
            dictator-like, obtrude our notions on any man. --Sir
                                                  T. Browne.

            Pretenses go a great way with men that take fair
            words and magisterial looks for current payment.

   2. (Alchem. & Old Chem.) Pertaining to, produced by, or of
      the nature of, magistery. See {Magistery}, 2.

   Syn: Authoritative; stately; august; pompous; dignified;
        lofty; commanding; imperious; lordly; proud; haughty;
        domineering; despotic; dogmatical; arrogant.

   Usage: {Magisterial}, {Dogmatical}, {Arrogant}. One who is
          magisterial assumes the air of a master toward his
          pupils; one who is dogmatical lays down his positions
          in a tone of authority or dictation; one who is
          arrogant in sults others by an undue assumption of
          superiority. Those who have long been teachers
          sometimes acquire, unconsciously, a manner which
          borders too much on the magisterial, and may be
          unjustly construed as dogmatical, or even arrogant.
