Transliteration: katasuró
Pronunciation: kat-as-oo'-ro
Phonetic Spelling: (kat-as-oo'-ro)
Definition: To drag down, to lead away forcibly

Word Origin: From the preposition κατά (kata, meaning "down" or "against") and σύρω (suro, meaning "to drag" or "to draw").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "katasuró," similar concepts of being led away or dragged can be found in Hebrew words like "שָׁבָה" (shabah, Strong's H7617), meaning "to capture" or "to take captive."

Usage: The verb "katasuró" is used to describe the act of dragging someone down or leading them away with force. It conveys a sense of compulsion or coercion, often in a negative or hostile context. This term is typically used to depict situations where individuals are forcibly taken or led away against their will.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of forcibly dragging someone away was not uncommon, especially in contexts of legal disputes, slavery, or military actions. The imagery of being dragged down or away would resonate with audiences familiar with the harsh realities of Roman authority and the legal system, where individuals could be seized and taken away for trial or punishment.
