Pandeism

noun
/pænˈdiːɪz(ə)m/UK/pænˈdiɪzəm/US

Etymology

Possibly borrowed from German Pandeismus, from pan- (from Ancient Greek παν- (pan-, prefix meaning ‘all’)) + Deismus (“deism”) (from Latin deus (“deity, god”) + German -ismus (“-ism”)).

  1. derived from -ismus — “-ism”

  3. derived from παν-
  4. borrowed from Pandeismus
