Meaning and Origin:
The word "revere" originally meant "to hold in awe or profound respect." It derives from the Latin "revereri," which itself comes from the Proto-Indo-European root *rewere-, meaning "to fear" or "to tremble."
Over time, the meaning of "revere" evolved to include a sense of respect, honor, and veneration. It is often used to describe our feelings towards people or things that we hold in high regard, such as religious figures, respected individuals, or cherished traditions.
