Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the ancient Greek pantheion, meaning 'of all gods', composed of pan- ('all') and theios ('divine, of a god'). Originally used to describe the famous temple in Rome dedicated to all the gods, the term evolved in European languages to denote both the collective deities of a specific mythology and, by extension, a group of particularly famous, respected, or illustrious people in a field.
