The word “apotheosis” derives from the Greek and means 'deify'. The Latin users employed the term 'deificatio' with the same meaning. In the theological sense it is now used to convey the idea of 'great stature'.
O vocábulo apoteose deriva do Grego, língua em que significa 'divinizar'. Os latinos usavam 'deificatio' com idêntico sentido. No sentido teológico passou a ser usada com a ideia de 'óptima estatura'.
