1 sense · 1 part of speech · etymology included

noun

  1. One who worships idols; (historical) a pagan.
    “[T]he state of idolaters is two ways miserable: first, in that which they worship they find no succour; and secondly, at his hands, whom they ought to serve, there is no other thing to be looked for but the effects of most just displeasure, the withdrawing of grace, dereliction in this world, and in the world to come confusion.”
    “You who can smash the idols, do so with a good courage; but do not be too fierce with the idolaters,—they worship the best thing they know.”
