Anathema
Anathema was originally used as a term for exile from the church, but evolved to mean "set apart, banished, denounced". The word comes from Koine Greek ἀνάθεμα, meaning "something dedicated, especially dedicated to evil", from ἀνατίθημι, meaning "offer as a votive gift", from ἀνά, meaning "on", and τίθημι, meaning "I put". It originally meant something lifted up as an offering to the gods; it later evolved to mean: ⁕to be formally set apart; ⁕banished, exiled, excommunicated; ⁕denounced, sometimes accursed In the Christian Bible, it appears in conjunction with the word "maranatha".
Anathema
Anathema, in common usage, is something or someone detested or shunned. In its other main usage, it is a formal excommunication. The latter meaning, its ecclesiastical sense, is based on New Testament usage. In the Old Testament, anathema was a creature or object set apart for sacrificial offering and thus removed from ordinary use and destined instead for destruction.
