Etymology
Sacrificat comes from the Latin sacrificatus, the past participle of sacrificare, to sacrifice. That verb is itself a compound of sacer, meaning sacred, and facere, meaning to make or do. Romanian inherited the word through its Latin base, and it kept the same core sense of making something sacred by offering it up.
