of binding-bonds
| Root | δεσμός (desmos) |
| Core Meanings | bond, chain, fetter, ligament, binding restraint, impediment |
| Semantic Range | physical chains or fetters for prisoners; ligaments that bind the body; figurative restraints, obligations, or impediments |
| Conceptual Significance | In the biblical context, δεσμοί often signify imprisonment or persecution for faith, highlighting both literal captivity and metaphorical bondage. The imagery of binding underscores themes of restraint, suffering, and, at times, spiritual or moral constraint. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,GMP — noun, genitive, masculine, plural. Indicates possession, source, or association: "of bonds" or "belonging to bonds." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun δεσμός derives from δέω ("to bind") and denotes that which binds or restrains. The form δεσμῶν is genitive masculine plural, so the rendering "of binding-bonds" preserves both the root idea of binding and the grammatical sense of possession or source expressed by the genitive plural. |
