INSHRINE Meaning and Definition

  1. Inshrine is a verb that can be defined as the act of giving special reverence or preserving something by placing it in a sacred or revered place. The word originates from the combination of two elements - "in" and "shrine."

    To inshrine something means to enclose it within a designated space or to preserve it within a sacred enclosure, such as a shrine or a place of worship. This act is often performed to honor an object, idea, or concept that is considered sacred, valuable, or worth preserving.

    Inshrining can also be metaphorical, symbolic of the act of giving high regard, importance, or veneration to an idea, ideal, or principle. It is a way to acknowledge the significance of certain beliefs, values, or practices held in high esteem by a particular group or community.

    In a broader context, inshrining can encompass not only physical preservation but also the manifestation of deep respect or devotion towards a person, concept, or belief system. It is an act of recognizing the special significance and sanctity attached to something by placing it in a space that is set apart, revered, and regarded as sacred.

Etymology of INSHRINE

The word "inshrine" is formed by adding the prefix "in-" to the word "shrine".

The term "shrine" originates from the Old English word "scrīn", which means a small closed cabinet or chest. It can be traced back further to the Late Latin word "scrīnum", which also refers to a case or box. The Latin word was derived from the Greek word "skrīnon", meaning a chest or case.

The prefix "in-" in English can indicate "into" or "within". So, when "in-" is added to "shrine", it forms the verb "inshrine", meaning to enclose or place something or someone within a shrine or to venerate or cherish something highly.
