Root Explanation

Consecrator → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "sacrare" (meaning to make sacred). The word "consecrator" refers to someone who makes something sacred or dedicates it to a divine purpose, often in a religious context.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who 'makes sacred' ('sacrare') something 'together' ('con-') — that's why a consecrator is someone who dedicates something to a holy purpose.
