worshipfully

/ˈwɝʃəpfəɫli/ adv

In a worshipful manner; reverentially.

Word Origin 'Worshipfully' comes from 'worship,' which is literally 'worth-ship' — the state of being worthy of honor. So to do something worshipfully is to do it with deep reverence. The same root 'worth' gives us 'worthy' and 'worthless.' It's a beautiful old English compound about recognizing value.
