英文词源
- hallow
- hallow: [OE] Hallow is essentially the same word as holy. The noun, as in Halloween, the eve of All Hallows, or All Saints, comes from a noun use of Old English Hālig, which as an adjective developed into modern English holy; and the verb was formed in prehistoric Germanic times from the root *khailag-, source also of holy.
=> holy - hallow (v.)

Used in Christian translations to render Latin sanctificare. Related: Hallowed; hallowing.
- hallow (n.)
- "holy person, saint," Old English haliga, halga, from hallow (v.). Obsolete except in Halloween.
