Forms: Middle English sacrilage, Middle English sacrelage, sacrylage, sacrilegge, Middle English–1500s sacrylege, Middle English sacrilag, 1500s sacrileage, Scottish sacralege, 1500s–1600s sacriledge, sacrilidge, 1600s sacrileg, Middle English– sacrilege.
Etymology: < Old French sacrilege (12th cent. in Hatzfeld & Darmesteter; modern French sacrilège) = Spanish sacrilegio, Portuguese sacrilegio, Italian sacrilegio, < Latin sacrilegium, < sacrilegus one who steals sacred things or commits sacrilege, < sacri-, sacer sacred + -leg-, legĕre to gather, after the phrase sacrum or sacra legere to purloin sacred objects, to commit sacrilege.
1.
a. The crime or sin of stealing or misappropriating what is consecrated to God's service. In ecclesiastical use, extended to include any kind of outrage on consecrated persons or things, and the violation of any obligation having a sacramental character, or recognized as under the special protection of the Church. Also, an instance of this offence.In medieval writings the classification of ‘sacrilege’ as a branch of avarice, which is based on the primary meaning of the term, is somewhat inconsistently combined with an enumeration of the varieties of sacrilege implying the wider sense explained above. Cf., e.g. Ayenbite pp. 40–41 Chaucer's Parson's Tale ⁋727–9.
