Why “deity” is a great word
DEITY — [Noun] A supernatural divine being, such as a god or goddess, or the state or quality of being divine. From Middle French deité, from Latin deitās ("divine nature, godhead"), from deus ("god"). Unlike "divinity" (which often denotes the abstract quality or its academic study) or "god" (which evokes a specific, often masculine, named figure), "deity" is the formal, general, and gender-neutral term for the divine conceived as a person. It is the cool marble of an untouched altar, the silent weight of an unseen presence in a sacred grove, and the specific point of light to which a prayer is directed—a word that names the divine while holding it at a taxonomic distance, measuring the immeasurable.
