Etymology
The word 'worship' has its origins in Old English, specifically from the term 'weorþscipe', which is a combination of 'weorþ', meaning worth, and 'scipe', which conveys a sense of shape or condition. This term evolved over time to signify the act of giving honor or showing reverence to someone or something deemed worthy. Initially, worship primarily referred to the respect and veneration directed towards God or gods in various religions. As the word developed through Middle English, it began to encompass a broader range of meanings, including to honor or revere public figures or esteemed individuals. By the 14th century, the term was widely used in both secular and religious contexts. Today, worship is understood in various forms, from organized religious practices in churches and temples to personal acts of devotion and respect in everyday life. The modern usage of the term often reflects both communal and individual expressions of reverence.
