Showing excessive worship or reverence of oneself; practicing self-worship or treating your own ego as a god.
From ego plus -latrous (from Latin latrare meaning 'to worship'). This term was created to describe the practice of egolatry, blending ego with religious terminology to emphasize the intensity of self-devotion.
Egolatrous is like calling someone's self-love religious—they don't just like themselves, they literally worship themselves, which is why this word uses the same root as 'idolatry' and 'worship.'
