noun
Refers to the divine creator of the universe, often in a monotheistic context. A somewhat formal or literary term.
キリスト教では、造物主は天地を創造したと信じられている。
In Christianity, it is believed that the Creator made heaven and earth.
General word for 'god' or 'deity'; 造物主 specifically emphasizes the role of creator.
Compound of 造 (create), 物 (thing), and 主 (master/lord). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the word is used to translate the concept of a divine creator in Western religious contexts.
