Origin: Middle English (denoting the divine nature of God): from Old French deite, from ecclesiastical Latin deitas (translating Greek theotēs), from deus ‘god’.

God: (in certain other religions) a superhuman being or spirit worshipped as having power over nature or human fortunes; a deity.

Origin: Old English, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch god and German Gott.

Reference: https://www.oxforddictionaries.com/ I understand they are used synonymously but in terms of technical correctness: Deity should apply to "a superhuman being or spirit worshipped as having power over nature or human fortunes". God should apply to a male gendered such being. Goddess should apply to a female gendered such being.
