Question

Answer 1

Those would be the only significant meanings because the word basilica comes from the Greek word since most words originate from Greek or Latin.

Answer 2

Basilica, large structure in ancient Roman or early Christian times, usually built on a rectangular, as distinct from a circular or cruciform, plan. Later the term was conferred as an honour on certain churches selected by the popes, such as St Peter's Basilica in Rome
CHRISTIAN BASILICAS

In the 4th century, when Christianity acquired imperial support, churches throughout the Roman Empire, such as Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome (432), were built on the basilica plan, usually over the grave of a saint. Many of them, notably San Clemente (11th century on a 4th-century foundation) and Old St Peter's (330, destroyed in the 16th century), both in Rome, were approached through a colonnaded atrium, or open court, like that of a Roman house. The basilica church consisted of an oblong space divided into a central nave and side aisles, sometimes with galleries. It was entered from one end through a porch, or narthex, beyond which penitents and those who had not undergone confirmation were not admitted. At the far end was the raised bema terminating in the domed apse, or sanctuary. In the centre of the sanctuary stood a canopied altar. Behind it was the bishop's chair facing the congregation, with seats for the presbyters and deacons on either side. Usually an area for the choir, surrounded by pierced screens and called the chancel, lay between the nave and the bema. The larger basilicas had wings, called transepts, flanking the chancel, to accommodate additional clergy

Answer 3

1. an early Christian or medieval church of the type built esp. in Italy, characterized by a plan including a nave, two or four side aisles, a semicircular apse, a narthex, and often other features, as a short transept, a number of small semicircular apses terminating the aisles, or an atrium. The interior is characterized by strong horizontality, with little or no attempt at rhythmic accents. All spaces are usually covered with timber roofs or ceilings except for the apse or apses, which are vaulted.
2. one of the seven main churches of Rome or another Roman Catholic church accorded the same religious privileges.
3. (in ancient Rome) a large oblong building used as a hall of justice and public meeting place.
