UNCANONISE Meaning and
Definition
-
The term "uncanonise" is a verb originated from the combination of the prefix "un-" denoting negation or reversal, and the word "canonise" which means to declare or accept as canonical. To "uncanonise" refers to the act of officially rejecting, disregarding, or revoking the status or authority of something or someone previously recognized as canonical.
In a religious context, "uncanonise" often indicates the removal of a person, text, or doctrine from the official canon of a religious tradition or scripture. This process involves declaring that the particular individual, writing, or belief is no longer considered as fundamental, authoritative, or divinely inspired. Uncanonisation can occur due to various reasons, such as theological disagreements, historical reevaluation, or the discovery of new evidence challenging the validity or authenticity of the canonized entity.
"Uncanonise" can also be utilized outside of religious context to describe the declassification or discrediting of any entity or concept previously regarded as essential or credible within a specific field or discipline. It implies the rejection or denial of the entity's relevance or its legitimacy within the established norms or standards of that particular domain.
Overall, "uncanonise" denotes the deliberate act of reversing the canonical status of a person, text, belief, or entity, either in a religious or broader context, due to challenges, reconsideration, or the decision to discard its authority or relevance.
Etymology of UNCANONISE
The etymology of the word "uncanonise" can be traced back to the combination of the prefix "un-" and the verb "canonize".
"Canonize" comes from the Latin word "canonizare", which means "to place in the canon". The term "canon" originally referred to a church law or rule, but it later came to denote a list of approved saints.
The prefix "un-" is a common negation prefix in English, indicating the reverse or opposite meaning. When "un-" is added to "canonize", it forms "uncanonize", which means the act of reversing or nullifying the canonization of someone, essentially removing their status as a saint.
