Why this word is great

GODHEAD — [Noun] The divine nature, essence, or state of being God; also used to refer to God or the Trinity, especially in Christian theology. From Middle English Godhede, from God ("God") + the suffix -hede ("-hood," denoting state, condition, or quality). Unlike "divinity," a quality that can cling to any minor deity, or "Trinity," a specific doctrinal formulation of persons, godhead is the indivisible substrate, the absolute is-ness of the supreme. It is the unapproachable light that burns without fuel, the silent substance underlying the threefold dance of creation, and the infinite, dimensionless point containing all potential—a word for a condition so absolute it can only be defined by what it is not.
