sacristy の語源・成り立ち Etymology
sacristy は中世ラテン語 sacristia を経て英語に入り、さらにラテン語 sacer「神聖な」に行き着く。sacred や sacrifice と同じ根を持ち、「聖なる物を置く場所」という発想から、教会で祭服や聖具を納める聖具室を表すようになった。
"Sacristy" came into English through Medieval Latin sacristia. It goes back to Latin sacer, meaning "holy" or "sacred," the same root seen in sacred and sacrifice. The word originally meant a place for holy objects, and later became the church room where vestments and sacred items are kept. Its meaning stayed close to the idea of sacred storage.
