productive labor
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,AFS); abstract noun denoting the activity or practice of working. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Productive labor" reflects the root εργα- (“to work, to perform”) and the abstract noun ending -ία, denoting the activity or practice of working, often with tangible or economic result. The accusative feminine singular form is represented in English by the uninflected noun phrase functioning as a direct object. |
