OriginOld English hālig, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch and German heilig, also to whole. Holy is related to Dutch and German heilig, and derives from the same root as whole. The holy of holies originally referred to the inner chamber of the sanctuary of the Jewish temple in Jerusalem, which was separated by a veil from the outer chamber and entered only by the High Priest on the Day of Atonement. The attitude of self-conscious virtue or piety that is holier than thou also has a biblical source, in Isaiah, which deplores ‘a rebellious people…Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou’.
