Worship dressed in everyday clothes, sneaking the sacred into how you feel about pizza.
means To love or cherish someone or something deeply, often with a touch of reverence or delight.
from From Latin adorare, "to speak to, pray to, worship" — built from ad- ("to, toward") plus orare ("to speak, pray," the same root behind oration and orator). It reached English through Old French aorer in the medieval period, carrying its churchly weight of literal worship; only later did it soften enough to let us "adore" a good sandwich.
