A being that is half-divine or partially divine; a semi-divine nature or state.
From demi- (half) + deity (a god). This is a parallel formation to 'demigod' but emphasizes the abstract quality of being divine rather than the entity itself.
While 'demigod' refers to a half-divine person, 'demideity' describes the actual divine essence they possess—it's the philosophical version asking 'what does it mean to be halfway to godhood?' Medieval theologians would have loved debating this distinction.
