The act or process of enshrining something; the state of being enshrined.
From 'enshrine' + '-ment' suffix (which creates nouns from verbs). The '-ment' suffix converts the verb into a noun describing the action or its result, following patterns like 'placement' from 'place.'
The '-ment' suffix is one of English's most productive ways to turn actions into nouns, and 'enshrinement' specifically bridges religious ceremony and secular honor—it's used for everything from protecting holy relics to honoring civil rights.
