means A supreme being worshipped as the creator and ruler of the universe, or any deity held to have power over nature and human fortune.

from From Old English 'god,' shared across the Germanic family (Dutch 'god,' German 'Gott'), tracing back to Proto-Germanic *gudan. Beyond that the trail forks: scholars link it to a Proto-Indo-European root meaning either 'that which is invoked' or 'that which receives libations poured to it' — a god as the one you call out to, or the one you pour the offering toward. Notably, the word is unrelated to 'good,' despite centuries of people assuming the two must be cousins; the resemblance is pure coincidence.
