Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word ὀψέ (opse), meaning "late" or "afterward."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "opsimaios," the concept of lateness or delay can be found in several Hebrew words. For example, Strong's Hebrew 309 (אַחַר, achar) conveys the idea of "after" or "behind," often used to denote a sequence or delay in time. Another related term is Strong's Hebrew 6150 (עָרַב, arab), which can mean "to become evening" or "to grow dark," indicating the passage of time into the late hours of the day. These Hebrew terms provide a cultural and linguistic backdrop for understanding the Greek concept of lateness as expressed in "opsimaios."

Usage: The word "opsimaios" is not used in the canonical texts of the New Testament. Its usage is primarily found in extra-biblical Greek literature, where it describes events or actions that occur later than expected.

Context: The term "opsimaios" is not present in the New Testament, but its root, ὀψέ (opse), appears in several passages, often translated as "late" or "evening." For example, in Matthew 28:1 (BSB), "After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb." Here, the concept of "late" is implied in the timing of events following the Sabbath. The absence of "opsimaios" in the biblical text suggests that its specific nuance of lateness was not required in the context of the New Testament writings. However, understanding its meaning can enrich the comprehension of related terms and concepts, such as the timing of events in the Passion narratives or the eschatological themes of delay and fulfillment.
