Word origin
The word 'sacrosanct' comes from the Latin 'sacrosanctus,' which is a combination of 'sacer' (sacred) and 'sanctus' (holy). It first appeared in English in the mid-17th century. Originally used in religious contexts to refer to things that are holy or sacred, it has since evolved to also mean something that is considered too important or valuable to be interfered with.
