Etymology

The French noun **sacrement** derives from Old French *sacrement* (12th c.), a direct borrowing of Latin *sacramentum* meaning “a sacred rite or oath.” The Latin term is built on *sacrum* (sacred), from *sacer* (holy), which in turn comes from the Proto‑Indo‑European root *s-ker- “to set apart, to dedicate.” The word entered French unchanged in both form and the religious sense of a consecrated act.
