Etymology

The word 'sacrosanctly' is derived from the Latin 'sacrosanctus', which means 'sacred' or 'inviolable', and is a combination of the prefix 'sacro-', meaning 'sacred', and 'sanctus', meaning 'holy' or 'sanctified'. The Latin term was used in legal and religious texts to denote something that was too important or revered to be violated or interfered with. The evolution of its usage in the English language can be traced back to the early 17th century when it was adopted into scholarly and religious discourse. Over time, 'sacrosanct' and its adverb form 'sacrosanctly' came to embody not just sacredness in a spiritual or religious sense but also in cultural and personal contexts, indicating that certain values, beliefs, and rights are fundamentally protected from challenge or change.
