Strong's Lexicon stugnazó: To be gloomy, to look sullen, to be downcast Original Word: στυγνάζω Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word "stugnos," meaning "gloomy" or "sullen." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "stugnazó," the concept of a downcast or troubled countenance can be found in Hebrew words like "כָּעַס" (ka'as - to be angry, vexed) or "עָצַב" (atsab - to be grieved, sorrowful). Usage: The verb "stugnazó" is used to describe a facial expression or demeanor that reflects gloominess, sadness, or a sullen attitude. It conveys a sense of being visibly troubled or downcast, often in response to a challenging or convicting situation. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, facial expressions were considered significant indicators of one's inner emotions and thoughts. A sullen or gloomy appearance could reflect a person's response to bad news, moral conviction, or internal conflict. In the context of the New Testament, such expressions often reveal a deeper spiritual or moral struggle.
