Etymology

The word 'enshrine' originated from the Middle English 'enshrinen', which stems from the Old French word 'enshriner'. This Old French term derives from the Latin 'in-' meaning 'in' and 'scrinium', which translates to 'a box or case for holding something'. The historical roots imply a sacred or special placement of objects or concepts. Over time, the term evolved to encompass not only the physical act of placing something in a shrine but also the metaphorical sense of preserving ideals or values as sacred. Today, 'enshrine' is commonly used in legal and cultural contexts to describe the recognition and safeguarding of rights, principles, or traditions within influential documents or societal norms.
