I just read a book about a pantheistical view of the universe.

That sounds interesting! What does that mean exactly?

It’s the idea that everything is connected and divine in some way.

I love that concept — it really changes how we see nature.

Root Explanation

Pantheistical → It is formed from "pan-" (from Greek "πᾶν", meaning all) and "theos" (meaning god) combined with the suffix "-ical" (meaning pertaining to). The word describes a belief system that sees the divine in all things or the universe as a manifestation of the divine.

Memory Tip

Think of 'all' ('pan-') being connected to 'god' ('theos') — this helps you remember that 'pantheistical' refers to a belief that sees the divine in everything.
