Why this word is great
THEOTECHY — [Noun] The art or scheme of introducing deities as a primary moving force in a poem or play; divine intervention as a literary device. From Ancient Greek θεός (theós, "god") + τέχνη (tékhnē, "skill, art") + the English suffix -y. Unlike *deus ex machina*—a sudden, mechanical contrivance—or *theology*—the systematic study of divine doctrine—theotechny is the grand, premeditated architecture of a world where immortal wills are the narrative's gravity. It is the salt-laden breath of Poseidon stirring a storm to delay an odyssey, the unnerving choreography of the Furies across the stage, and the celestial machinery of Milton’s cosmos turning on the hinges of divine will. This conscious artifice renders our smallness both dreadful and divine, the human story a chamber within a vaster, inhabited house.
