Transliteration: sugchusis
Pronunciation: soong-KHOO-sis
Phonetic Spelling: (soong'-khoo-sis)

Word Origin: Derived from the verb συγχέω (sugcheō), meaning "to pour together" or "to confuse."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with confusion is תֹּהוּ (tohu, Strong's H8414), which denotes formlessness or chaos, as seen in Genesis 1:2.

Usage: The term "sugchusis" refers to a state of confusion or disorder, often implying a lack of clarity or understanding. In the New Testament, it is used to describe situations where there is chaos or a lack of order, particularly in the context of human interactions or spiritual understanding.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, order and clarity were highly valued, both in philosophical thought and in daily life. The concept of "sugchusis" would have been understood as a negative state, contrary to the desired harmony and order. In Jewish thought, confusion was often associated with spiritual blindness or rebellion against God's order.
