4 definitions found From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]: Clement \Clem"ent\, a. [L. clemens; -entis; cf F. cl?ment.] Mild in temper and disposition; merciful; compassionate. --Shak. -- {Clem"ent*ly}, adv From WordNet r 1.6 [wn]: clement adj 1: (of weather or climate) physically mild; "clement weather" [ant: {inclement}] 2: (used of persons or behavior) inclined to show mercy; "a more clement judge reduced the sentence" [ant: {inclement}] From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]: Clement mild, a Christian of Philippi, Paul's "fellow-labourer," whose name he mentions as "in the book of life" (Phil. 4:3). It was an opinion of ancient writers that he was the Clement of Rome whose name is well known in church history, and that he was the author of an Epistle to the Corinthians, the only known manuscript of which is appended to the Alexandrian Codex, now in the British Museum. It is of some historical interest, and has given rise to much discussion among critics. It makes distinct reference to Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians. From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]: Clement, mild; good; merciful
