enshrine
의미: To preserve or protect a right, principle, or tradition in a form that gives it special status, especially by incorporating it into law, a constitution, or an official document.
Enshrine is almost exclusively used in legal, constitutional, and human rights discourse. It carries a sense of solemnity and permanence — something enshrined in law is not merely written down but elevated and protected. The word's religious origin (placing something in a shrine) lends it a quasi-sacred quality. Common collocations include 'enshrined in legislation,' 'enshrined in the constitution,' and 'enshrined in law.' It is virtually always positive in implication.
