覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
church を思い浮かべ、sac- を sacred と結びつけると「神聖なものに関わる場所」とまず押さえやすいです。そこから、礼拝をする main hall そのものではなく、司祭が vestments を着け、聖杯などの道具を保管し、儀式前の準備をする小部屋だと具体化すると定着します。 sanctuary や chapel が祈る側の空間なのに対し、sacristy は教会の backstage 的な部屋、と区別して覚えると忘れにくいです。
Use the beginning `sacr-` to think of `sacred`. A `sacristy` is not the main place where people sit and pray, but a small church room for robes, tools, and preparation. Think of it as the church's backstage area.

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.
