Deityship

/ˈdeɪ.ə.ti.ʃɪp/ noun

Definition

The state, condition, or rank of being a deity; divine nature or status.

Etymology

Deity plus the suffix '-ship,' which forms nouns describing rank, position, or condition (like kingship or leadership). This term appears in theological contexts to discuss the nature of divinity.

Kelly Says

Deityship is what philosophers debate when they ask 'What makes something a god?'—is it power, immortality, being worshipped, or something else entirely?
