Mostra-me frases de exemplo com be held ~(adjective) .Diz-me o máximo de expressões diárias possíveis.
I saw the phrase "an insult to something held sacred" so I tried to figure out what 'hold' means in that phrase. And I found another sentence "Violators will be held accountable." How can get the meaning of the word 'hold' in those sentences?

“Held sacred” means regarded as sacred. Seen as sacred. Considered sacred.
“Held accountable” means made responsible for. “Violators will be held accountable” means, if you violate the law, the law will hold you responsible for your actions. You will be prosecuted and made to pay.
Hope that’s helpful.

@Rayud2166 Are both phrases colloquial phrases? I mean, is there any other adjective that can be used with 'held'?
- Inglês (EUA)
Held in high regard
Held in low esteem
Held in contempt
Held to a high standard
Held up in mockery
In some ways, think of it as “held” in the mind of the viewer. How does the viewer see something, how do they “hold” it in their mind.
Held up in court/in red tape
Held in abeyance
Here, it is a virtual holding back of a thing, like a virtual net or trap.
