Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word ἀκμή (akmē), meaning "point" or "prime."

Usage: The adverb ἀκμήν is used to convey the sense of "yet" or "still," often indicating a continuation of a state or action. It emphasizes the persistence or ongoing nature of a situation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek literature, ἀκμήν was used to describe something at its peak or prime, often in the context of time or condition. In the New Testament, its usage is more focused on the temporal aspect, highlighting the continuation or persistence of an event or state.
