“Demiurge” comes from the Greek word “dēmiourgós,” meaning “skilled worker.” In Platonic philosophy, the Demiurge is the deity who created the universe out of raw material. The idea of the Demiurge evolved in other schools of philosophy and theological systems, but in its most modern form, “demiurge” can be used to describe the person responsible for a creative idea, such as the showrunner of a hit new comedy. “Demiurgic” is an adjective that describes a creative force or state of being, such as, “When I’m in the glass-blowing studio, I enter a demiurgic state of mind.”
