I just found that tW has entries for these words. The words next to them are others that link to the tW page.
consecrate - consecrated portion, consecration
holy - holiness, sacred, unholy
sanctify - sanctification
set apart - distinct, make a distinction, treat differently

We need to look at these. It looks like some of the definitions might be on the wrong ones. For example, the page for "set apart" has this as one of its bullets:

To "sanctify" someone means to set apart that person for God's service.

It seems odd to have these bullets on the page for "set apart" since we have pages for "holy" and "sanctify".

One meaning of the term “holy” is to be set apart as belonging to God and being separated from the sinful ways of the world.
To “sanctify” someone means to set apart that person for God’s service.

But since it's possible that in some verses the words "holy" and "sanctify" have been accidentally linked to the page for "set apart", we might as well leave it alone. The page for "set apart" also has links to those tW pages.
