- 1獻祭的、犧牲的（宗教裡是「拿去祭」；日常也可指「故意拿去換別的東西」）
Sacrificial means “to do with a sacrifice”: something given up, offered, or destroyed so that something else can live, succeed, or stay holy. In old religion, a sacrificial animal is one put on an altar. In everyday English the word has spread. A sacrificial pawn in chess is given away on purpose. On a ship, a sacrificial piece of metal is meant to rust so the rest of the ship does not. A company may make a sacrificial cut — letting one team go to save the others. The feeling is: this thing is not the main prize; it is what you let go of. Sacrifice is the common noun and verb; sacrificial is the adjective, a little more formal, a little more like a textbook.
組成Borrowed from Latin sacrificiālis. By the look of the English word, it is sacrifice + -ial (“of that kind”). Latin built sacrifice from sacer, “holy”, plus facere, “to make or do” — to make something holy by offering it.
