Extreme admiration or reverence (8)

I believe the answer is:

idolatry

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'extreme admiration' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'reverence' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for idolatry that I've seen before include "Hero worship" , "Getting worked up by image" , "Adulation" , "Worship of godly images" , "Worship of a false god" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Mirror.
