a creature that eats sunlight, drinks rain, and outlives every civilization that worshipped it
means A large perennial plant with a woody trunk, branches, and leaves, typically growing tall and living for many years.
from From Old English 'treo' or 'treow,' meaning both 'tree' and 'wood,' tracing back to Proto-Germanic and a Proto-Indo-European root '*dóru' that meant 'tree' or 'wood.' That same ancient root is a cousin of Greek 'drys' (oak) and likely lurks inside 'druid' and 'true' — for what is steadier, more rooted, more trustworthy than wood that stands its ground?
