"The Blessed One", is it bad translation? I found "The Blessed One" in English translation of Suttas. Because in Buddhism blessing is not legit/proper word to use to anyone, especially Buddha need not to be blessed, is it loosely translated or in purpose? I didn't see any part of Sutta that one can be blessed or a meaning that blessing can be done so far. What should be proper translation of "The Blessed One" in Sutta if it is bad translation?
A couple of dictionary translations:



  Bhagavā: venerable, fortunate, blessed, sublime. Generally designates the Buddha.


  Bhagavant (adj. n.) [cp. Vedic bhagavant, fr. bhaga] fortunate, illustrious, sublime, as Ep. and title "Lord." Thus applied to the Buddha (amhākaŋ Bh.) and his predecessors. Occurs with extreme frequency; of fanciful exegetic explns of the term &amp; its meaning we mention e. g. those at Nd1 142=Nd2 466; Vism 210 sq.; DA i.33 sq. Usual trs. Blessed One, Exalted One.



Also, perhaps as an etymology:



  Bhaga [Vedic bhaga, bhaj, see bhagavant etc.] luck, lot, fortune, only in cpd. dub˚ (adj.) unhappy, unpleasant, uncomfortable It 90; DA i.96 (˚karaṇa). -- bhaga (in verse "bhagehi ca vibhattavā" in exegesis of word "Bhagava") at DA i.34 read bhava, as read at id. p. Vism 210.





Here are some definitions of "blessed" from an American dictionary (perhaps Protestant culture):


  Simple Definition of blessed
  : having a sacred nature : connected with God
  : very welcome, pleasant, or appreciated
  
  Full Definition of blessed
  
  
  a :  held in reverence :  venerated 
  b :  honored in worship :  hallowed 
  c :  beatific   
  :  of or enjoying happiness; specifically :  enjoying the bliss of heaven —used as a title for a beatified person  
  :  bringing pleasure, contentment, or good fortune
  


I think you might see that many of these definitions are suitable.

You're right that it's probably not blessed in a Catholic sense, i.e. sanctified via the agency of a priest.
