Why this word is great
DENDROLATRY — [Noun] The worship of trees. From dendro- (from Ancient Greek δένδρον (déndron, "tree")) + -latry (from Ancient Greek λατρεία (latreía, "worship")). Unlike "arborolatry" (which suggests cultural reverence) or "phytolatry" (which broadens devotion to all plants), dendrolatry is sacred, an act of kneeling before bark as if it were scripture. It is the druid tracing fingers over the grooves of an oak’s skin, the village leaving offerings at the roots of a fig tree, or the way sunlight through a canopy of redwoods can feel like stained glass in a cathedral of living wood—proof that divinity need not be carved, only grown.
