The state or quality of being consecrated; the condition of being formally dedicated to religious or sacred purposes.
From 'consecrated' (past participle of 'consecrate', from Latin 'consecrare': 'con-' + 'secrare', meaning to make sacred) + '-ness' (noun-forming suffix).
This word stacks suffixes—'consecrated' + 'ness'—to express an abstract quality, showing how English creates new shades of meaning: 'consecrated' is an adjective, but 'consecratedness' emphasizes the state itself.
