worships

Holds utterly sacred

Worships is the third-person singular form of worship, meaning to show reverence or adoration.

In religious contexts, someone worships a deity through prayer, ritual, or devotion: She worships at the cathedral every Sunday.

More loosely, to worship is to admire intensely: He worships his older brother.

The noun worship refers to the act itself or a form of address for dignitaries: Your Worship.
