'ador' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'adorare,' where 'ad-' meant 'toward' and 'orare' meant 'to speak or pray.'

'adorare' transformed into the Old French word 'adorer,' and eventually became the modern English word 'adore' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'to pray or speak to,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to worship or revere.'
