Word of the day: Sacrosanct

The word sacrosanct signifies something so important or respected that it cannot be questioned, altered, or interfered with. Originating from the Latin sacrosanctus, meaning holy or inviolable, it was used in ancient Rome to refer to laws, rituals, and sacred places. Today, it is applied to values, principles, customs, and guidelines that are served as untouchable.
