Theological

Consecration (haqdashu) is the act of making something holy (qadosh) — the process and the result are theologically unified in the sanctuary, both involving separation to God's service.

Cognate

Hebrew qiddush (consecration) and qiddesh (to sanctify) derive from the same root q-d-sh — consecration is the completed act; sanctify is the ongoing process. Both describe the same movement toward holiness.
