Avatar
Deity made flesh
In Hinduism, an avatar is the earthly incarnation as a deity.
Retaining this meaning, avatar has lent itself to figurative use in other contexts.
Any embodiment of something abstract in a person may be called an avatar, and more recently, avatar is used to designate the character that represents a player in video and online computer games.
