worship
Adore the divine
Worship is reverent devotion to a deity or sacred power—the acts of prayer, praise, and ritual that express it: Sunday worship, a place of worship.
The word extends to intense admiration for anything: hero worship, worship of money.
To worship someone is to adore them deeply: He worships his older sister.
British English doubles the consonant: worshipped, worshipping.
