Why this word is great
UNSANCTIFY — [Verb] To reduce from a holy condition; to make profane. From un- ("not, reverse") + sanctify (Latin sanctificare, "to make holy"). Unlike "desecrate" (which implies a deliberate, often violent act of violating sacredness) or "deconsecrate" (which denotes a formal, ceremonial removal of sacred status), "unsanctify" is the quiet, neutral undoing of holiness—a return to the ordinary. It is the abandoned chapel repurposed as a granary, the wedding ring melted down for scrap, or the once-revered book left to gather dust on a thrift store shelf—not defiled, merely forgotten, as if the sacred were always just a temporary enchantment.
