Strong's Lexicon euprosedros: Devoted, attentive, assiduous Original Word: εὐπρόσεδρος Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: euprosedros Pronunciation: yoo-pros'-ed-ros Phonetic Spelling: (yoo-pros'-ed-ros) Definition: Devoted, attentive, assiduous Meaning: constantly attending to, devoted. Word Origin: From the Greek prefix εὖ (eu, meaning "well" or "good") and πρόσεδρος (prosedros, meaning "sitting near" or "attending"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "euprosedros," the concept of devotion and attentiveness can be related to Hebrew words like שָׁקַד (shaqad, Strong's H8245), meaning "to watch" or "to be alert," and חָסִיד (chasid, Strong's H2623), meaning "faithful" or "devout." Usage: The term "euprosedros" is used to describe someone who is devoted or attentive, particularly in the context of being diligent or assiduous in their duties or responsibilities. It conveys a sense of being steadfastly present and committed to a task or role. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of devotion and attentiveness was highly valued, especially in the context of civic duties, religious practices, and philosophical pursuits. Being "euprosedros" would imply a person who is not only physically present but also mentally and emotionally engaged in their responsibilities. This term would have resonated with early Christians who were called to be devoted in their faith and service to God and the community.
