godan verb (-su)
Rare, archaic verb meaning to worship or revere, typically used in a religious or deeply respectful context. Modern Japanese normally uses 崇拝する or 礼拝する.
古い文献では、神を礼すという表現が見られる。
In old texts, the expression 神を礼す (to worship a god) can be found.
The exact derivation is uncertain; the kanji 礼 means 'propriety' or 'rite', and the reading らい is a Sino-Japanese reading, suggesting a possible classical borrowing or construction.
