mojobadshahIs there a word in English that means "god-stealing"
I know that diacide means "godkilling" but is there a word that means "god-stealing"?
quote:
diacide
deicide, actually.
The Greek
κλέπτω (Latinised as
klepto) means "I steal". So a "deiklept" would be a "god-stealer", although I suspect I've just invented it as it doesn't appear in a Google search.
There are several Latin words with a meaning of "I steal" such as
capio or
corripio, I suppose you could coin something along the lines of "deicapier" or similar.

mojobadshahThanks. I figured it would be something like that. I saw Latin "to steal" is clepsere or clepere, so I thought maybe diaclepsere or diaclepere, but deiklept sounds better. Those dang deikleptos.
