Question

sacrosanct Lots of experts have criticized the governor's education program, but it's regarded as sacrosanct by members of her own party. ˈsækroʊsæŋkt

Accepted Answer

(1) Most sacred or holy. (2) Treated as if holy and therefore immune from criticism or disturbance of any kind. Sacrosanct means literally “made holy by a sacred rite,” and in its original use the word was reserved for things of the utmost holiness. But sacrosanct is now used to describe a questionable sacredness which nevertheless makes something immune from attack or violation; that is, the person using the word usually doesn't regard the thing as sacred at all. So to call a government program sacrosanct is to imply that others regard it as untouchable. And a piece of writing is more likely to be thought of as sacrosanct by its author than by the editor who has to fix it up
