| Root | δωρεά (dōrea) |
| Core Meanings | gift, free gift, bounty, unearned grant |
| Semantic Range | freely, without payment, without cause, gratuitously, for nothing, in vain (without gain), as an unearned gift |
| Conceptual Significance | Highlights the biblical theme of unmerited favor and divine generosity—what is given not by obligation or payment but as a gift. It underscores grace as something granted freely, without human earning or merit. |
| Morphological Notes | Form δωρεάν: either adverb (Gr,D) derived from the accusative feminine singular of δωρεά, or noun accusative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,AFS,). As an adverb it expresses manner (“as a gift, freely”); as a noun it is direct object feminine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term derives from δωρεά (“gift”) and in the form δωρεάν functions primarily as an accusative feminine singular used adverbially, meaning “as a gift” or “freely.” Rendering it “as-a-gift” preserves the concrete root idea of a gift while reflecting its adverbial force; where parsed as a noun (AFS), it is rendered “a gift,” maintaining its accusative feminine singular form. |
