Answer 1
The temple where one worships comes from Latin templum, itself derived from the Indo-European root *tem-, "to cut, divide." Latin templum probably referred originally to the fact that temples were on sacred ground that was "divided" or separated from ordinary ground.

Answer 2
The question refers to a "Greek words" not Latin words. There are two places of worship that are reasonably familiar. The first is ecclesia (ἐκκλησία) which was the term for the early gatherings of the Christian Church. It remains the term used in Greek to refer to a "Church building." The second is synagogue (συναγωγή

) which was the Greek word used to refer to small Jewish houses of meeting and worship aside from the Great Temple in Jerusalem. It is used in numerous European languages (including Modern Greek and English) to refer to a Jewish House of Worship.

Answer 3ναός [naos] from νέω = Ι inhabit
In modern Greek also εκκλησία [eclesia] which in Ancient Greek means gathering.
church from Greek κυριακόν [kyriakon] = building for the Lord (= Kyrios)

The temple that refers to a place of worship, for example, does not have the same origin as the temple that refers to a side of the forehead. The temple where one worships comes from Latin templum, itself derived from the Indo-European root *tem-, "to cut, divide." Latin templum probably referred originally to the fact that temples were on sacred ground that was "divided" or separated from ordinary ground. Refer to link below.

What do the Islamic people call ther building of worship?

Answer 1Muslims don't worship any building. Even, Kaaba (that is the most sacred Islamic building) is not worshiped by Muslims but respected and honored by Muslims.Answer 2Muslims worship in a building called a mosque. They must take off their shoes before entering a mosque.Answer 3If you are asking What building do Muslims worship IN, then the above answer is right. If you are asking "Which building do Muslims worship?" Answer is; Muslims don't worship any building. They worship The one true God (Allah). And Allah has ordered Muslims to face Ka'bah (a building in Mecca) for worship. They don't worship Kabah, but they face to ka'bah to worship Allah (On true God, Not Jesus or The Holy Ghost).Example: After Fateh Mubeen (conquest of Mekkah by Muslims) Hazrat Bilal (may Allah keep him in peace) climbed over Kabah and gave Azan (call for prayer namaz). this very clearly shows that Muslims never worship Kabah and its just a direction.
