RootΦῆστος (Phēstos)
Core Meaningsfestal, festive, celebratory (as a proper name)
Semantic RangeProper name referring to Porcius Festus, Roman procurator of Judea; carries the underlying sense of "festive" from its Latin origin but functions strictly as a personal name in the New Testament.
Conceptual SignificanceFestus appears in Acts as the Roman governor who hears Paul’s case, representing imperial authority and the legal-political framework within which the early gospel proclamation advanced.
Morphological NotesNoun, accusative, masculine, singular (Gr,N,,,,,AMS); proper name of Latin origin used as a direct object in the clause.
Rendering RationaleThe lemma Φῆστος derives from a Latin name meaning "festal" or "festive." The form Φῆστον is accusative masculine singular, functioning as a direct object in context; "Festal-one (Festus)" preserves the root sense while reflecting its singular masculine proper-name usage.
