A: Deus on its own is hardly used these days, however it is used in a common phrase: "deus ex machina" (meaning: god from the machine)

The phrase "deus ex machina" is commonly used when discussing movies or books. It's used to refer to a improbable, illogical or baseless plot twist that greatly alters the situation, often in the main character's favour.

Example: "I liked the movie, but the ending was pretty bad...they could've come up with a better way to beat the villain than the deus ex machina ending of that guy suddenly coming back to life."

In case you want a pronunciation of "machina" (since it is hard to read):
