created thing; creature
Primarily a theological term referring to something created by a divine being, especially in Christian contexts. Not used for everyday creations.
In Christianity, humans are considered creations of God.
All created things in this world reflect the glory of God.
Compound of 被 (hi, 'receive' or 'passive') + 造 (zō, 'create') + 物 (butsu, 'thing'). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the word is used in theological contexts to mean 'created thing'.
