单词 sanctum sanctorum
释义

sanctum sanctorumn.

/ˈsaŋktəm saŋkˈtɔːrəm/
Forms: Plural sancta sanctorum.
Etymology: Latin sanctum neuter nominative singular and sanctōrum neuter genitive plural of sanctus holy; a Hebraism, translation (= Septuagint τὸ ἅγιον τῶν ἁγίων ) of qōdesh haqqŏdāshīm , ‘Holy of holies’ (see holy n. 1). The Vulgate (following the Septuagint) several times uses the plural sancta sanctorum in the same sense as the singular, without any warrant from the original Hebrew.
