英文词源
- worship
- worship: [OE] Worship began life as a compound noun meaning virtually ‘worthiness’. It was formed from the adjective worth and the noun suffix -ship ‘state, condition’, and at first was used for ‘distinction, credit, dignity’. This soon passed into ‘respect, reverence’, but it was not used in specifically religious contexts until the 13th century. The verb dates from the 12th century.
=> worth - worship (n.)
- Old English worescip, wurescip (Anglian), weorescipe (West Saxon) "condition of being worthy, dignity, glory, distinction, honor, renown," from weore "worthy" (see worth) + -scipe (see -ship). Sense of "reverence paid to a supernatural or divine being" is first recorded c. 1300. The original sense is preserved in the title worshipful "honorable" (c. 1300).
- worship (v.)
- c. 1200, from worship (n.). Related: Worshipped; worshipping.
