If the phrase "immaculate conception" where to be dissected into two separate words‚ it’s meaning would no longer have the same implications. "Immaculate" is something that is pure‚ free from fault or error; and "conception" is something conceived in the mind‚ an abstract or general idea inferred or derived from specific instances.
