Etymology

The noun “reverence” comes from the Latin “reverentia,” derived from “revereri,” meaning to respect or to fear. “Revereri” combines “re-” (intense regard) and “vereri” (to fear or show respect). Thus it signifies deep respect and awe, reflecting both admiration and a sense of greatness towards someone or something.
