Word for something indicating the importance of guarding it properly
Is there a word for lowering the importance of something by summarizing it?Word or phrase to stress the importance of something?Adjective that expresses something being of great importanceWhat's the word for the small square indicating a right angle in a geometric figure?Single word for the height above somethingWord for the act of disabling somethingOne word indicating that a process is not yet finishedAnother word for “effective”, but not indicating a satisfactory solutionTerm for an importance level between “Medium” and “High”?How to use the word total properly?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
Is there a good word for something to indicate its importance as something that would be dangerous or harmful if it were compromised or leaked? I'm thinking of something like a social security number.
Calling it dangerous or risky seems inappropriate: it isn't inherently harmful. It isn't a bomb. And if protected properly, it poses no threat.
Calling it confidential or secret doesn't have the right ring to it, for reasons I can't quite articulate.
Calling it valuable or precious also misses the point, as it doesn't have any large value to its owner if it isn't leaked (or at least, that isn't the point).
Yet in a way, I'm looking for a word that in the right way captures all three of those words. A word that says that about something relatively innocuous that there is a risk associated with it being stolen, and that it is therefore important to guard it well.
