Transliteration: arróstos

Meaning: infirm, sick, ill, feeble, sickly.

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek prefix "α-" (a-, meaning "not") and "ῥώστης" (rhōstēs, meaning "strong" or "healthy").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "ἄρρωστος," the concept of sickness is often expressed in Hebrew by words like "חולה" (choleh, Strong's H2470) meaning "sick" or "ill."

Usage: The Greek word "ἄρρωστος" (arróstos) is used in the New Testament to describe someone who is physically sick or ill. It conveys a state of weakness or lack of health, often necessitating healing or medical attention. In the context of the New Testament, it is frequently associated with those who are in need of Jesus' healing power.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the first-century Greco-Roman world, illness was often viewed as a physical and spiritual condition. Medical knowledge was limited, and many illnesses were attributed to spiritual causes or divine displeasure. Healing was sought through various means, including traditional medicine, religious rituals, and appeals to deities. In Jewish culture, illness could also be seen as a result of sin, and healing was a sign of God's forgiveness and favor.
