''Deus'' ((:ˈdeːʊs)) is Latin for "god" or "deity". Latin ''deus'' and ''dīvus'' "divine", are descended from Proto-Indo-European *''deiwos'', "celestial" or "shining", from the same root as '' *Dyēus'', the reconstructed chief god of the Proto-Indo-European pantheon. Compare Greek Zeus (Ζεύς ''dzeus''; Aeolic Greek Δεύς ''deus'') and Sanskrit देव ''deva''. Latin ''dies'' ("day") is considered to have derived from the same PIE root that originated ''deus''. This is to say that a celestial shining body, the Sun, gives material form to the words for "day" in the Romance Languages. In Classical Latin, ''deus'' (feminine ''dea'') was a general noun〔''Generale nomen'': Servius, note to ''Aeneid'' 12.139.〕 referring to a deity, while in technical usage a ''divus'' or ''diva'' was a figure who had become divine, such as a divinized emperor. In Late Latin, ''Deus'' came to be used mostly for the Christian God. It was inherited by the Romance languages in French ''Dieu'', Spanish ''Dios'', Portuguese and Galician ''Deus'', Italian ''Dio'', etc, and by the Celtic languages in Welsh ''Duw'' and Irish ''Dia''. ==Latin Bible== Latin ''deus'' consistently translates Greek θεός ''theos'' in both the Vetus Latina and Jerome's Vulgate. In the Septuagint, Greek ''theos'' in turn renders Hebrew Elohim (אֱלוֹהִים, אלהים). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Deus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
