gratuitously
| Morphological Notes | Adverbial form functioning as an adverb of manner; no gender, number, or person marking. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adverb derives from the root חנן, reflecting an action done out of favor or grace rather than obligation. "Gratuitously" preserves the sense of something done freely, without payment, cause, or justification, aligning with the root’s gracious nuance. |
