Word of the Day
These words are not necessarily the words you need to know to score well on the SAT. Some of these words did not come into English directly from Latin or Greek, but instead came into English via a Romance language. I am not providing complete etymologies, but rather, the Latin or Greek words that are at the base of these English words. By knowing these connections you may be able to apply these Latin or Greek roots to other words to gain insight into the underlying meaning of new words. Some words are linked to related articles.
Henotheism - belief in one god without denying the existence of other gods. From the Greek for one ("heis, mia, hen") and the Greek for god ("theos"). See article on
henotheism and
the henotheistic pharaoh.
