What does DEITY mean in Scrabble?
noun
A god or goddess, or, more broadly, divine status, nature, or power.
A deity can be any being worshipped as divine within a religion, from a single supreme god in a monotheistic faith to one of many gods and goddesses in a polytheistic tradition. The word is also used abstractly for divinity itself, as in questioning the deity of a particular figure, rather than for a specific being. Statues, carvings, and images representing a god are likewise sometimes called deities in discussions of art and archaeology.
