loves someone or something deeply and greatly respects or admires them.
From Latin 'adorare' meaning 'to pray to' or 'to speak to in reverence,' from 'ad-' (to) and 'orare' (to pray). The meaning shifted from religious worship to intense personal love.
The word 'adore' comes from the same root as our modern word 'oracle'—both involve addressing someone with reverence, whether a god or a wise person.
