Word Play: Where Does "God" Come From?

The word god is said by Etymonline.com to be derived from an ancient protoindoeuropean (PIE) word *ghut- meaning "that which is invoked", and is originally from *gheu(e)- "to call, invoke." 

But a god is said to be divine, where did that word come from?

The word Divine is derived from deity, which is derived from Deus. 

The PIE *de means “in the direction of.”  The word us, or eus, is from a Greek word indicating “good”, originally from *es meaning “to be”. Thus the word de-(e)us, is the word for god. It indicates “in the direction of good.”  

The word Deus indicates “in the direction (of being) good”. What is good?

The word good is from PIE *ghedh” meaning “to unite, be associated, suitable”. 

Eus, or ius in addition to indicating good, indicates in Latin a similar property: iustus meaning "upright, righteous, equitable; in accordance with law, lawful; true, proper, perfect, complete" as is from where the the word just is derived.  

One conclusion:  Divine is derived from deity, which is derived from Deus indicating "in the direction of being united with true, proper, wholeness and right-use-ness."  

Etymonline further notes, "see also Zeus." How does the word zeus relate to the word: god?  Zeus, the site tells us, is from root *dyeu- meaning "to shine" in derivatives referring to "sky, heaven, god." The god-sense of this word is originally "shining." 

Thus divine science includes the study (as in investigation) of pointing in the direction of reunification with true, proper, wholeness and right-use-ness.

Sometimes playing with words will teach you things.
