SIBI-P1 G5547-04
Anointed One
| Morphological Notes | Noun; nominative masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,NMS,). Functions as a singular masculine title or subject in a clause. |
| Rendering Rationale | Χριστός derives from χρίω ("to anoint") and literally denotes one who has been anointed. The nominative masculine singular form presents it as a singular male subject or title, so "Anointed One" preserves both the root meaning and its grammatical function as a masculine singular designation. |
