STRONGS G1174:
δεισιδαίμων, -ον, genitive -ονος, (δείδω to fear, and δαίμων deity), fearing the deity or deities, like the Latin religiosus; used either
1. in a good sense, reverencing god or the gods, pious, religious: Xenophon, Cyril 3, 3, 58; Ages. 11, 8; Aristotle, pol. 5, 11 [p. 1315a, 1]; or
2. in a bad sense, superstitious: Theophrastus, char. 16 (22); Diodorus 1, 62; 4, 51; Plutarch, de adul. c. 16; de superstit. c. 10f. Paul in the opening of his address to the Athenians, Acts 17:22, calls them, with kindly ambiguity, κατὰ πάντα δεισιδαιμονεστέρους (namely, than the rest of the Greeks [Winer's Grammar, 244 (229)], cf. Meyer at the passage), as being devout without the knowledge of the true God; cf. Bengel at the passage.
