deification
n. US //ˌdiəfəˈkeɪʃən// UK //dˌeɪfɪkˈeɪʃən// de·ifi·ca·tion
From Middle English deificacion, from Middle French deifier + -acion or borrowed directly from Latin deificātiō(n), from deific(ā) (“deify”) + -tiō(n) (noun suffix), from de(i) (“god”) + -ficō (“make”). By surface analysis, deif(y) + -ication. * In the Christian, theological sense, influenced by the use of deificātiō(n) as Latin translation of Byzantine Greek θέωσις (théōsis).
