Strong's Lexicon diaphanés: Transparent, clear, evident Original Word: διαφανής Word Origin: From the Greek roots διά (dia, meaning "through") and φαίνω (phaino, meaning "to shine" or "to appear"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "diaphanés," the concept of clarity and transparency can be related to Hebrew words like זַךְ (zak, meaning "pure" or "clear") and בָּרוּר (barur, meaning "clear" or "evident"). Usage: The term "diaphanés" is used to describe something that is clear or transparent, allowing light to pass through so that objects behind can be distinctly seen. In a metaphorical sense, it can refer to something that is evident or manifest, without any obscurity or hidden aspects. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, transparency was often associated with purity and truth. The concept of something being "clear" or "evident" was valued in philosophical discourse, where clarity of thought and expression was seen as a virtue. In the context of the New Testament, the idea of transparency can be linked to spiritual purity and the revealing of truth. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originvariant reading for diaugés, q.v.
