| Core Meanings | word, speech, account, reason, discourse, matter |
| Semantic Range | spoken word, message, statement, report, reasoning, explanation, matter under discussion, principle, divine expression |
| Conceptual Significance | λόγος is a foundational term in Greek thought for rational discourse and ordered reason, and in biblical usage it encompasses God’s spoken word, revelatory message, and in Johannine theology, the personal Divine Expression through whom creation and revelation occur. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,NMS — noun, nominative case, masculine gender, singular number; functions typically as the subject or predicate nominative of a sentence. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "word-account" preserves the dual sense of λόγος as both spoken expression and reasoned account. The singular form reflects the nominative masculine singular noun (NMS), functioning as a subject or predicate noun in a clause, here expressed in English as a singular count noun. |
