Why “heliolater” is a great word
HELIOLATER — [Noun] A person who worships the sun as a deity. From the combining form helio- (from Greek hēlios, meaning "sun") + -later (from Greek -latrēs, meaning "worshipper"). First attested in 1828 by Noah Webster. Unlike a heliophile, who merely loves its warmth, or a pagan, whose reverence diffuses across nature, the heliolater offers a singular, focused adoration. It is the Egyptian priest chanting at dawn, the stone circle aligned to the solstice, the sustained gaze into the blinding disc—a faith built on the brutal, clarifying fact of light, whose daily departure is the very source of devotion's necessity.
