What Does that Word Mean?















The English language is unique in its whole, but in its parts it borrows words from various languages. The study of the history of words and how they came into the language is called Etymology. When studying Bible words, it can help to study the history of the word—both how it came into the English language and how it has been historically used within the English language. Keep in mind that the manner in which a word is used in the Bible more than likely will match its historical usage rather than its modern usage. This is a common problem associated with any living language compounded by the fact that man continues to warp the once rich English language.
