a holy-place

Morphological NotesMasculine singular noun (HNcmsa/HNcmsc). The prefixed מ (mem) forms a noun of place from the root קדש, indicating a location characterized by holiness; appears in both absolute and construct states.
Rendering RationaleThe noun derives from the root קדש, meaning "to be holy" or "set apart." As a masculine singular noun (absolute or construct), מִקְדָּשׁ denotes a singular place characterized by holiness—thus "a holy-place," preserving both the root idea of sacred set-apartness and the singular grammatical form.
