   I have to disabuse you of that notion, CoronellaKeiper:

   From Middle English, from Old English god (“‘supreme being, deity’”), Old High German got (a rank of deity), both from the Proto-Germanic ǥuđa-, *ǥuđan, from the Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰuto- (“‘that which is invoked’”), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵhau- (“‘to call, to invoke’”) or * *ǵheu- (“‘to pour’”). Not related to the word good*.

   Coronella, heck and hex are completely unrelated. You are preachy and full of kindly-meant platitudes, but as an etymologist, you suck.
