Pronunciation: sac-ri-price

Sentence: As a good mother, you pay the ultimate sacriprice when you watch the object of your total devotion walk out the door into the arms of the future. It's a bittersweet moment, and it stings for a while, until mother realizes that now she and daddy can go back to dating; eating and drinking whatever they want, and having sex wherever and whenever they want like they did the night their child was conceived. On top of that -- the heat, food and water bills plummet and there's always clean towels in the closet. An empty nest isn't so bad after all and it's well worth the sacriprice.

Etymology: sacrifice: complete giving to a specific person or cause + price: cost

Sentence: She had done all she could for Little Robin... gave him life, fed him, cleaned him, taught him about life and kept him warm. It was now the time to sacremancipate him. His educatgion would continue at a higher level. Now that he knew where to look for the choicest worms, how to avoid predators and how to sing to attract a mate, Mother Nature would continue his education and teach him how to migrate each fall and return each spring. It was very sad each year when they left the nest to make it on their own.

Etymology: Sacrifice (the act of losing or surrendering something as a penalty for a mistake or fault or failure to perform etc.) & Emancipate (liberate, free from slavery or servitude)
