To Our Many Friends
Origin of Word 'God'
By RABBI SAMUEL J. FOX
(Copyright, 1954, Jewish Telegraphic)
Agency, Inc.)
There is no universal agree-
ment on the derivation and ori-
gin of the world "god." Some
would like to derive it from the
word good, in which sense the
notion of the divine would be a
source of good. This, however, is
generally discredited by ranking
authorities. Some claim that it
may be related to an ancient
Lithuanian word which referred
to one who practiced magic.
Others attempt to trace the
word "god" to the Aryan term
"ghut" which comes from "ghut-
to" which means to "implore."
The allusion of the latter deri-
vation would be that the word
"god" signifies the one whom
we implore in asking for our
wants, etc.
