means A person formally recognized by a religion as exceptionally holy, or, loosely, anyone of remarkable goodness or patience.
from From Latin sanctus, meaning 'holy' or 'consecrated' — the past participle of sancire, 'to make sacred,' which also gives us 'sanction' and 'sacred.' It traveled through Old French saint before settling into English, carrying its sense of someone set apart, hallowed, marked off from the ordinary.
