liturgical

/ɫəˈtɝdʒɪkəɫ/ adj C1

of formal public worship

Word Origin From Greek 'leitos' (people) and 'ergon' (work) — literally 'work of the people.' Originally, a liturgy was a public service or duty, then came to mean the form of public worship. The same 'ergon' gives us energy (work within), surgery (hand work), and ergonomics (the study of work). So liturgical is about communal work in worship.
