Etymology

**Sainteté** is a modern French noun formed by attaching the abstract‑noun suffix *‑eté* (from Latin *‑itas*) to the adjective *saint*, which comes from Latin *sanctus* “holy, sacred.” The word entered French in the 17th century, essentially borrowing the Latin concept of *sanctitas* (sanctity) and rendering it with the French suffix that creates abstract nouns such as *noblesse* or *bonnet*.
