Godded

/ˈɡɑdɪd/ verb

Definition

Past tense of 'god' used as a verb, meaning to treat something or someone as a god or to deify.

Etymology

From 'god' as a verb (using the noun as a verb base) plus the regular past tense suffix -ed. This follows English's productive verb-forming capacity where nearly any noun can become a verb.

Kelly Says

The verb 'to god' is rare and mostly literary or philosophical—it appears in discussions of idolatry and worship—but it perfectly demonstrates English's flexibility in converting any part of speech into another.
