santuario
/sanˈtwaɾjo/ · B2 · noun · m
sanctuary
⛪ santuario = santo (holy) + -ario (place for) → a holy place
Spanish santo means holy, and the suffix -ario marks a place for something, like English -ary. So santuario is a place for the holy: a shrine, or a sanctuary where people or animals are kept safe. Sanctuary in English comes from the same Latin root, sanctus.
