| 词组 | sacrilegious |
| 释义 | sacrilegious For obvious reasons, it is easy to misspell this word as sacreligious. One way to avoid the error is to remember that religious and sacrilegious are not etymologically related to each other. Religious is derived from the Latin word religio, meaning "reverence, religion," whereas sacrilegious is derived ultimately from the Latin combining form sacr-, meaning "sacred," and the verb legere, meaning "to steal." The Latin noun sacrilegus means "one who steals sacred things." It also may be helpful to remember that sacrilegious is the adjective formed from sacrilege. |
