Deify - a podcast by Word of the Day

Deify is a verb that means to glorify or worship.

The Latin word deus (DAY oos) means ‘god’ and the literal translation of our word of the day is ‘to make a god.’ But the word may be used in a lighter context to simply mean ‘elevate as if a god.’

The people of this town are enormous baseball fans. The day I hit three home runs, everyone wanted to deify me.
