To hallow is "to make holy or sacred, to sanctify or consecrate, to venerate". The adjective form ''hallowed'', as used in ''The Lord's Prayer'', means holy, consecrated, sacred, or revered.〔''Webster's Collegiate Dictionary'' entry for ''hallowed''〕 The noun form ''hallow'', as used in ''Hallowtide'', is a synonym of the word saint.〔〔〔
==Etymology==
The noun is from the Old English adjective ''hālig'', nominalised as ''se hālga'' "the holy man". The Gothic word for "holy" is either ''hailags'' or ''weihaba'', ''weihs''. "To hold as holy" or "to become holy" is ''weihnan'', "to make holy, to sanctify" is ''weihan''. Holiness or sanctification is ''weihiþa''. Old English, like Gothic, had a second term of similar meaning, ''wēoh'' "holy", with a substantive ''wīh'' or ''wīg'', Old High German ''wīh'' or ''wīhi'' (Middle High German ''wîhe'', Modern German ''Weihe''). The Nordendorf fibula has ''wigiþonar'', interpreted as ''wīgi-þonar'' "holy Donar" or "sacred to Donar". Old Norse ''vé'' is a type of shrine. The ''weihs'' group is cognate to Latin ''victima'', an animal dedicated to the gods and destined to be sacrificed.
