- liturgy
- liturgy: [16] Etymologically, liturgy means ‘public performance’. It comes via late Latin līturgia from Greek leitourgíā ‘public service or worship’. This was a derivative of leitourgós ‘public servant’, hence ‘priest’, a compound formed from leit-, the stem of lēós ‘people, multitude’ (from which English gets layman), and érgon ‘work, action’ (source of English energy).
=> energy, laity, lay - liturgy (n.)
- 1550s, "the service of the Holy Eucharist," from Middle French liturgie or directly from Late Latin/Medieval Latin liturgia "public service, public worship," from Greek leitourgia "a liturgy; public duty, ministration, ministry," from leitourgos "one who performs a public ceremony or service, public servant," from leito- "public" (from laos "people;" compare leiton "public hall," leite "priestess;" see lay (adj.)) + -ergos "that works," from ergon "work" (see organ). Meaning "collective formulas for the conduct of divine service in Christian churches" is from 1590s.
