because
| Morphological Notes | Subordinating conjunction (Gr,CS); causal conjunction introducing a dependent clause expressing reason or basis. |
| Rendering Rationale | The compound of διά (through, on account of) and ὅτι (that, because) intensifies a causal connection, introducing the ground or reason for a statement. "Because" concisely preserves this explicit causal force inherent in the conjunction. |
