Dubito, an Angl. deity Latine simpliciter deitas sit. Hic potius de numine agi videtur. Constat Augustinum (civ. 7.1) "deitatem" finxisse, ut Graecum θεότης 'divinitas' converteret. Neander 11:35, 22 Iulii 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just as a curiosity, you're now translating English 'deity' ("a being, natural, supernatural or preternatural, with superhuman powers or qualities") as divinitas. With what Latin word do you then suggest we translate English 'divinity' ("the state of things that come from a supernatural power or deity, such as God, and are therefore regarded as sacred and holy")?
