the original CEO of fertility, war, and ruining mortals who didn't text back.
means A female deity worshipped in a religion or mythology, or by extension a woman idolized for her beauty, talent, or power.
from From Middle English goddesse, simply god plus the feminine suffix -esse (borrowed via Old French from the Latin -issa, itself from Greek). English bolted the female ending onto the native word god — a word of murky Germanic ancestry, possibly tracing back to a Proto-Indo-European root meaning 'to invoke' or 'to pour' (as in a libation). So a goddess is, etymologically, 'a god, but make it feminine.'
