“holiness” in Latin

sanctitas (the relative holiness of a place that is under the protection of the gods, or rendered sacred and inviolable by some divine law, also of a person, either from his possession of any office that makes his person inviolable [e.g., royalty], or from his moral purity and worth; less strong than the English word: ☞ sanctitudo is an old word, used by Cic., in sanctitudo sepulturae, but probably from his purposely choosing a solemn and unusual expression): caerimonia (the holiness of a god, or of a thing consecrated to a god, which obliges us to regard it with religious respect and veneration; thus, Caes., frag. ap. Suet., Caes., 6, speaks of sanctitas rerum, caerimonia deorum, quorum ipsi in potestate sunt reges; so caerimoniae sepulcrorum, etc.): religio (the holiness of a place or thing, the violation of which is a sin against conscience; though it descends far lower than the word “religion,” it sometimes, in philosophical language, ascends nearly to the [heathen] notion of it; e.g., religio est, quae superioris cujusdam naturae... curam caerimoniamque affert, Cic., Invent., 2, 63, 162; so cultus deorum et pura religio, Cic.): pietas erga or adversus deum (piety; adversus, Cic., N.D., 1, 41): Dei cultus pius (the holy worship of God): cultus Dei et pura religio (Cic., the holy worship and inward piety). (The words are found in this connection and order.) pietas et sanctitas (e.g., deos placatos efficit, Cic.); religio caerimoniaque (of holy rites or worship); sanctitas et religio (Cic.); innocentia et sanctitas (Plin., Cic. arranges the terms thus, quae potest esse pietas? quae sanctitas? quae religio?). To violate the holiness of a place, alicujus loci religionem violare; also, locum religiosum violare (Cic., Rabir. perd., 2, 7): to violate all holiness (of sacred places and rites), omnes caerimonias polluere (Liv., 6, 41): to lose its character of holiness, religionem amittere (of a place): to take from a place its character of holiness, locum religione liberare; locum exaugurare (of the solemn act of the augurs; opposed to inaugurare).
