What does the old English word hallow mean?

The Old English word "hallow" means to make holy or sacred. It comes from the Old English word "hālig" meaning "holy".

Here are some examples of how "hallow" is used:

* Hallowing a place: To hallow a place is to make it sacred or set it apart for religious purposes.

* Hallowing a day: To hallow a day is to observe it as a day of religious significance.

* Hallowing a name: To hallow a name is to treat it with great respect and reverence.

The word "hallow" is still used in English today, though it is not as common as it once was. It is often used in religious contexts, but it can also be used in a more general sense to mean "to honor" or "to cherish".
