Rootεὐθυμέω (euthymeō)
Core Meaningsbe of good spirit, be cheerful, be encouraged, be confident, be well-hearted
Semantic Rangeto be cheerful, to be encouraged, to take heart, to be confident, to remain in good spirits despite circumstances
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical usage, this term expresses an inner resilience or uplifted spirit grounded in trust or hope. It reflects not mere emotion but a settled state of heart that aligns with faith and confidence in God’s sustaining presence.
Morphological NotesVerb; present tense (ongoing action), active voice, indicative mood; 3rd person singular (Gr,V,IPA3,,S,). The present tense emphasizes a current, continuous state of inner disposition.
Rendering RationaleThe verb εὐθυμέω derives from εὔ (good, well) and θυμός (spirit, inner passion), literally meaning "to be of good spirit." The present active indicative third singular form denotes an ongoing state—"is being"—performed actively by the subject, hence "he/she is being well-spirited."
