Etymology
The word enshrinement comes from the idea of putting something into a shrine: en- means 'in' and shrine means 'a sacred place' or a place for something very important. So, to enshrine something is to put it in a safe, special place or treat it as sacred, which is why enshrinement means keeping something safe or treating it as very important.
