Part of Speech: Adjective, Noun
Explanation: This word is an inflected form of the compound word 'θεοποιός' (theopoios), which means 'deifying' or 'making divine'. It is formed from 'θεός' (theos), meaning 'God', and 'ποιέω' (poieo), meaning 'to make' or 'to do'. It refers to something or someone that elevates to divine status or makes something sacred. In this specific form, it appears to be a genitive singular or nominative/vocative/accusative plural, likely referring to 'of a deifier' or 'deifiers'. The final iota with a coronis (ιοὐ) indicates an elision, likely with a following word, but the word itself is 'θεοποιού'.
Inflection: Masculine or Feminine, Genitive, Singular (ΘΕΟΠΟΙΟΥ); or Masculine, Nominative, Vocative, or Accusative, Plural (ΘΕΟΠΟΙΟΙ); or Masculine, Genitive, Singular (ΘΕΟΠΟΙΟΥ)
