I just encountered a new word---that is, a word that's new to me. Not,
I'm sure, to this forum. The Greek root is only part of it, though its
similarity to "Latro" is new to me too.
I'll just quote from the Wiki and let people draw their own conclusions
about Latro's name in the context of Wolfe's theories about gods and God.
*Monolatrism or monolatry* (Greek: μόνος (monos) = single, and λατρεία
(latreia) = worship) is the recognition of the existence of many gods,
but with the consistent worship of only one deity.
An example given is Akhenaten's heresy, Atenism.
