Epeolatry

Time, time only, can gradually wean us from our Epeolatry, or word-worship, by spiritualizing our ideas of the thing signified.

It is said that the first requisite for a successful politician is to be able to invent nicknames for an adversary; and before now a neatly turned expression has overthrown Governments in France. Epeolatry is the fashion of the day.

I read my dictionary for a few more minutes, until tiredness eventually brought my epeolatry to an end for the day.
