Eusebia

Eusebeia (Greek: from "pious" from eu meaning "well", and sebas meaning "reverence", itself formed from seb- meaning sacred awe and reverence especially in actions) is a Greek word abundantly used in Greek philosophy as well as in Greek translations of texts of Indian religions and the Greek New Testament, meaning to perform the actions appropriate to the gods. The root seb- () is connected to danger and flight, and thus the sense of reverence originally described fear of the gods.
