"Most Worshipful"

[BroBook]

In my studies I have found that "Worship" means to show respect, so as someone already alluded it means this body knows how to do the work

"The word "Worshipful" is used when addressing the Master of the Lodge. "Worship" is derived from the Old English "worchyppe" or "worchyp" meaning "greatly respected."

In the Wycliffe Bible, "Honor thy father and thy mother" appears as "Worchyp thy fadir and thy modir." Grand Masters are called "Most Worshipful" meaning "Most greatly respected" (except in Pennsylvania where the Grand Master is "Right Worshipful" as are Past Grand Masters both there and in Texas)"
