DESACRALIZE Meaning and Definition

  1. The term "desacralize" is a verb that refers to the act of diminishing or removing the sacred or religious significance from something. It is derived from the combination of the prefix "de-" meaning removal or reversal, and the word "sacralize" which pertains to the act of making something sacred or holy.

    To desacralize something means to strip away the spiritual or religious importance, rituals, or symbols associated with it. This can occur in various contexts, such as removing religious connotations from a physical space, object, or ceremony. The desacralization process often involves challenging and questioning established beliefs, customs, or traditions in order to reduce their impact or to reinterpret them in a secular or non-spiritual manner.

    When a society or culture undergoes desacralization, it experiences a shift towards a more secular or non-religious worldview. This can entail a diminishing role of religious institutions and practices in social, political, or cultural spheres. Desacralization can also involve a movement away from reverence towards objects, places, or rituals deemed sacred in order to view them from a more rational or secular perspective.

    Overall, the term "desacralize" represents the act of removing or reducing the spiritual or religious significance of something, often as part of a broader process of secularization or the rejection of established religious norms and beliefs.

Etymology of DESACRALIZE

The word "desacralize" is derived from the combination of two elements: "des-" and "sacralize".

1. "Des-" is a prefix in English that indicates negation or reversal. It comes from the Latin word "dis-" or "de-", meaning "apart" or "away from". It is commonly used to form words with a meaning opposite to or lacking the quality of the base word. In the case of "desacralize", it is used to indicate the reversal or removal of something sacred.

2. "Sacralize" is derived from the word "sacred", which is derived from the Latin word "sacrare", meaning "to make sacred or consecrate". "Sacred" refers to something that is regarded as holy, worthy of devotion, or set apart from ordinary activities.
