the.com/chalice
a cup so important it refuses to be called a cup.
means A large, ornate stemmed cup or goblet, especially one used to hold wine in religious ceremonies.
from From Latin 'calix,' meaning cup or goblet, which traveled into Old French as 'chalice' before settling into English. The Latin 'calix' is possibly related to Greek 'kylix,' another drinking cup — though the two may simply be cousins sipping from the same ancient well rather than direct descendants. Either way, the word has spent most of its life lifted toward the sacred.
