(2) (by extension with "object of adoration") "goal, desire (usually phantasmal or unrealistic)"
(3) (calque) "idol singer"
(4) (in tabletop games) "holy symbol"
(4) (now old-fashioned or iconolatrist) "icon, relic, object of adoration"
(5) (obsolete, associated with old editions of iconoclastic religious texts) "idol, false idol, demonic image"
