deus
Roman word: god
Deus is Latin for god, appearing in English primarily in borrowed phrases: deus ex machina (a contrived plot resolution), Deus vult (God wills it—the Crusaders' cry).
The word surfaces in theological and philosophical contexts where Latin carries weight, and occasionally in fantasy or science fiction naming conventions.
