The word "idol" originates from the Greek word "eidolon," which means "image" or "form." It was used in ancient contexts to refer to physical representations of deities or objects of worship. Over time, the term evolved to describe not only religious figures but also people who are revered or admired in various cultural contexts. The Latin adaptation "idolum" further solidified its usage in the context of false gods or objects of devotion.
