SIBI-P1 G2597-14

the having-descended one

Morphological NotesVerb; aorist active participle; nominative masculine singular. The aorist participle denotes a completed action prior to the main verb; active voice; functioning adjectivally or substantivally in the nominative masculine singular.
Rendering RationaleThe verb καταβαίνω combines κατά (down) with βαίνω (to go/step), meaning "to go down" or "descend." As an aorist active participle, nominative masculine singular (PAA NMS), it denotes a completed act of descending, functioning adjectivally or substantivally—hence "the having-descended one," preserving both the root sense of downward movement and the grammatical form.
