Would you agree that the word “worship” means “engendering feelings in one’s heart towards”?

If  you agree to that definition – then how is it that engendering feelings in one’s  heart towards one who suffered in a human body – is not worshiping a  form?

Is  it because the focus is on the unseen and formless “personality” that was  contained in the body? If that is your point – then would you go on to say that  one who worships the “spirit” that they believe dwells in a statue or if they worship the  formless personality of any human or animal – would you say that they are not worshiping a  form?
