Etymology: < Georgian mxedruli (adjective) military < mxedari knight, mounted warrior, rider.This form of the alphabet is so named because it was developed for knightly (i.e. military or secular) use alongside the two earlier forms of the script known jointly as xucuri ‘ecclesiastical’ (consisting of an old alphabet called mrglovani ‘rounded’, which had come to serve as uncials to its angular derivative nusxuri ‘minuscule’).

The Georgian script of 33 (originally 38) characters as developed for secular use in the 11th cent. and still used for printing and writing the modern Georgian language. Also attributive or as adj.
