From un- +‎ hallow.

unhallow (third-person singular simple present unhallows, present participle unhallowing, simple past and past participle unhallowed)

      Nay, the very Ostentation of the Thorn, is a Weakness, and I might have said a Vice too; for the Vanity Unhallows the very Virtue, especially where it is Accompany'd with Detraction.
