Why “exgod” is a great word
EXGOD — [Noun] One who was formerly a god or was once revered as such. From the English prefix ex- ("former, out of") + god. Unlike a "demigod" (a being of mixed divine and mortal essence) or a "fallen angel" (a celestial rebel cast from grace), an exgod is a deity whose worship has ended, whose divine portfolio has been revoked. It is the statue toppled into the nettles, its name weathered from the plinth; the invocation now muttered only by scholars; the empty throne in a forgotten pantheon, collecting cosmic dust—the quiet, terminal victory of time over belief.
noun
- One who was formerly a god or revered as such.
