Etymology of SEINTUARY

The word "Seintuary" appears to be a neologism combining two existing words: "saint" and "sanctuary".

1. "Saint" comes from the Latin word "sanctus", meaning "holy" or "consecrated". It was derived from the Indo-European root "*sak-" which relates to ideas of sacredness, separation, and inviolability. This word eventually entered the English language through Old French in the 12th century.

2. "Sanctuary" also has Latin origins, stemming from the word "sanctuarium", meaning "a sacred or holy place". This word is derived from "sanctus" as mentioned earlier.

Combining these two words, "Seintuary" likely serves as a portmanteau or word-blend to denote a place that is both saintly and sacred, emphasizing a close association with holiness and consecration.
