sự thiêng liêng

/ˈseɪkrɪdnəs//ˈseɪkrɪdnəs/

The word "sacredness" has its roots in the Old English word "sgēadic", which referred to something that was revered or held in awe. This word is derived from the Proto-Germanic word "*segiz", which is also the source of the Modern English word "sacred". The Proto-Germanic word is thought to be derived from the Proto-Indo-European root "*sek-" which meant "to hold sacred" or "to consecrate". This root is also the source of other words such as " sanctuary" and "secular". Over time, the spelling and meaning of the word "sacredness" evolved to encompass a sense of reverence, respect, and spiritual significance. Today, the word is used to describe something that is considered holy, blessed, or consecrated, and is often associated with religious or spiritual contexts.
