Etymochain: desecrated
Sometimes I hear a word and it triggers a chain of words to flash in my mind trying to connect the (new) word through etymology
Desecrated -> sacro (Italian for "sacred") -> sagra (a kind of festivity in Italy) -> Sagrada Família (cathedral in Barcelona) -> sacred -> sacrifice -> sacrilegious -> sacral -> massacre? (probably not) -> consecrate -> sacerdote (Italian for "priest")
