Etymology
The term 'worship' originates from the Old English word 'weorþscipe', which is a combination of 'weorþ', meaning 'worthy', and 'scipe', meaning 'ship' or 'shape'. Thus, it originally conveyed the idea of giving something worth or shape to the honor due to an object of reverence. Over time, the term evolved, and by the Middle Ages, it had come to be associated specifically with the adoration of deities. In various cultures, worship practices have developed to include temples, ceremonies, and rituals that focus on honoring gods, ancestors, or significant spiritual figures. As languages evolved, the spelling changed to 'worship' in Modern English, which encompasses a variety of religious traditions and expressions of reverence for the sacred.
