n. (in Christianity) an object or rite regarded as having sacred significance
The word "sacramental" derives from the Latin sacramentum (a solemn oath or sacred rite), which itself comes from sacrare (to consecrate) + mentum (noun suffix indicating means or result). The root sacr- (holy) traces back to Proto-Indo-European sak- (to sanctify). Over time, "sacrament" evolved in Christian theology to denote rituals like baptism or communion, and the suffix -al was added to form an adjective describing things pertaining to these rites.
