Worship
Worship
Worship (pronunciation: /ˈwɜːrʃɪp/) is an act of religious devotion usually directed towards a deity. The term is derived from the Old English 'weorþscipe', meaning to venerate or give worth to a figure of religious reverence.
Etymology
The term worship comes from the Old English word 'weorþscipe', which means 'condition of being worthy, dignity, glory, distinction, honor, renown'. It is a compound of 'weorþ' (worth) and '-scipe' (ship). The word was used in Old English to denote worthiness or meritoriousness and is thus the origin of the English word 'worth'.
