Strong's Lexicon artuó: To season, to prepare, to arrange Original Word: ἁρτύω Word Origin: Derived from a primary root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "artuó," the concept of seasoning or preparing can be related to Hebrew words like מָלַח (malach - Strong's H4414), which means to salt or season. Usage: The Greek verb "artuó" primarily means to season, as one would with food, to enhance flavor. It can also imply preparing or arranging something in a suitable manner. In the New Testament, this term is used metaphorically to describe speech that is gracious and impactful, akin to how seasoning enhances the taste of food.

Salt was a valuable commodity, used not only for flavor but also for preservation. The metaphorical use of "artuó" in the New Testament reflects the importance of thoughtful and impactful communication, drawing from the everyday experience of preparing and enjoying meals.
