| Morphological Notes | Adjective, nominative masculine singular; functioning substantively to describe a person characterized by firmness or stability. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective derives from ἕδρα (seat, base) and denotes one who is firmly seated or set in place. As nominative masculine singular used substantively, it is rendered as “firmly established one,” preserving both the root imagery of being set upon a base and the grammatical form. |
