    • Strictly speaking, to adore is to worship. Adorable thus means worthy of worship.

    Origin:
    1275–1325; < Latin ad&#333;r&#257;re  to speak to, pray, worship, equivalent to ad-  ad- + &#333;r&#257;re  to speak, beg ( see oral); replacing Middle English aour ( i ) e  < Old French aourer  < Latin
