bitter

Root	מרר (m-r-r)
Core Meanings	bitterness, sharpness, acridity, vexation, embitterment
Semantic Range	literal bitterness (taste), emotional bitterness (grief, anguish), harshness of spirit, embittered circumstances, severe or grievous experience
Conceptual Significance	The concept of bitterness in the Hebrew Bible spans physical taste and deep emotional or covenantal distress. It describes Israel’s harsh bondage (e.g., embittered lives), personal grief, and spiritual anguish, portraying suffering as something sharp and penetrating, like a bitter taste that lingers.
Morphological Notes	Adjective, masculine singular absolute or construct (HAamsa/HAamsc); occasionally also attested as a masculine singular noun (HNcmsc). Feminine counterpart is מָרָה. Used attributively or predicatively.
Rendering Rationale	The form מַר is a masculine singular adjective derived from the root מרר (m-r-r), conveying the quality of bitterness or sharpness. Rendering it as “bitter” preserves the core sensory and figurative force of the root while accurately reflecting the masculine singular adjectival morphology (HAamsa/HAamsc).
