1、sanct- 是"神圣"(saint 圣人不就差一个 c),-ary 是"表地方"的尾巴,合起来就是"神圣的地方"。拼写里藏着 saint,看到 sanct- 就想"圣"。
2、意思一路延伸:圣所、圣殿 → 避难所、庇护所 → 鸟兽保护区、禁猎区。animal sanctuary 是收容保护野生动物的地方,不是动物园。
3、读 /ˈsæŋk.tʃʊə.ri/,中间 sanct- 要读出 tch 那一下(像 san-CHU-ri),别念成"桑克-COW-里"。同族还有 sacred 神圣的、sanctum 圣所、私宅。

英语词源

sanctuary (n.)
early 14c., "building set apart for holy worship," from Anglo-French sentuarie, Old French saintuaire "sacred relic, holy thing; reliquary, sanctuary," from Late Latin sanctuarium "a sacred place, shrine" (especially the Hebrew Holy of Holies; see sanctum), also "a private room," from Latin sanctus "holy" (see saint (n.)).

Since the time of Constantine and by medieval Church law, fugitives or debtors enjoyed immunity from arrest in certain churches, hence transferred sense of "immunity from punishment" (late 14c.). Exceptions were made in England in cases of treason and sacrilege. General (non-ecclesiastical) sense of "place of refuge or protection" is attested from 1560s; as "land set aside for wild plants or animals to breed and live" it is recorded from 1879.
