desecratev.

/ˈdɛsɪkreɪt/
Etymology: < de- prefix 2a + stem of consecrate v. In Latin dēsecrāre or dēsacrāre meant to consecrate, dedicate. Old French had des-sacrer (des- = Latin dis-) still in Cotgrave (1611) ‘to profane, violate, unhallow’, = Italian dissacrare ‘to unconsecrate, unhallow’ (Florio); these may have suggested the formation of the English word.
a. transitive. To take away its consecrated or sacred character from (anything); to treat as not sacred or hallowed; to profane.
