- 1庇護所；避難所；（動物）保護區
A safe place where someone or something is protected from danger or harm — it could be a place people go to escape a bad situation (like a war or an abusive home), or a protected area for animals, like a 'bird sanctuary.' It can also mean the safe, quiet feeling itself: 'this garden is my sanctuary.'
From the word’s history
From Middle English seyntuarie, from Old French saintuaire, from Late Latin sanctuarium 'sacred place', from sanctus 'holy'.
源自晚期拉丁文 sanctuarium「聖地」，來自 sanctus「神聖的」。
組成From Latin "sanctus," meaning holy or sacred — a sanctuary was originally a holy place, like inside a church, where no one was allowed to hurt you.
