The term 'kept sacred' can be summarized by two crossword solutions: 'enshrined' and 'INVIOLATE'. 'Enshrined' means to protect or preserve something, often in a religious context. It is derived from the Latin word 'sacrāre', which means to make sacred. 'INVIOLATE' means to remain untouched or unharmed, and is derived from the Latin word 'inviolātus', which means undefiled or pure. Both words imply that something is being kept in a sacred or holy state.
