Etymology
The term 'godding' stems from the noun โgodโ, which has Old English origins. The word 'god' itself can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic *gudan, which refers to a deity or a supreme being. Over time, language evolved and the suffix '-ing' was added to create a verb form. The informal use of 'godding' likely emerged in the late 20th century as part of the broader trends in slang, particularly influenced by youth culture and the rise of social media. The term carries a modern connotation, reflecting contemporary attitudes toward celebrity worship and the idolization of figures within pop culture. Its usage can also suggest irony, especially in contexts where excessive admiration is viewed humorously.
