Etymology
Dedicate comes from the Latin root dicare, which means 'to declare', and originally meant to publicly announce or set something apart. So when a mayor dedicates a library or bridge, they officially open it and 'say' it is for the public. That's why we use dedicate for formal opening ceremonies.
