unsacred

/ʌnsˈeɪkɹɪd/ adj

Not sacred or sacrosanct; thus, accessible

Word Origin The Latin 'sacer' meant 'holy, consecrated' — it's the root of 'sacred', 'sacrifice', and 'sacrament'. The prefix 'un-' simply negates it, so 'unsacred' means not holy. The PIE root *sak- is behind words like 'consecrate' and 'desecrate'.
