orenda

orenda
/aw ren"deuh, oh ren"-/, n.
a supernatural force believed by the Iroquois Indians to be present, in varying degrees, in all objects or persons, and to be the spiritual force by which human accomplishment is attained or accounted for.
[1902; coined by U.S. ethnologist J.N.B. Hewitt from the supposed Huron cognate of Mohawk oré·na inherent power (akin to karé·na song; cf. Seneca oeno power, song with power, kaeno song)]
