Pronunciation Note

The almost universal pronunciation of sacrilegious as [sak-r, uh, -, lij, -, uh, s] is the result of folk etymology鈥攎odifying the pronunciation of an unfamiliar word so that it conforms to a more familiar one鈥攊n this case religious. Etymologically, sacrilegious has no direct relationship to religious. The historical pronunciation [sak-r, uh, -, lee, -j, uh, s] occurs in American English, though not in British English, and criticism of the newer pronunciation has almost disappeared.
