'Godhead' originates from Old English, specifically the word 'godhad,' where 'god' meant 'deity' and '-had' meant 'state' or 'condition.'

'Godhad' transformed into the Middle English word 'godhede,' and eventually became the modern English word 'Godhead.'

Initially, it meant 'the state of being a god,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'the divine nature or essence of God.'
