an extraordinary appearance
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative, feminine, singular (Gr,N,,,,,AFS); denotes a single instance of a visible or extraordinary appearance functioning as a direct object. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the root idea of something being seen or appearing (ὀπτ-) and preserves the noun’s concrete sense of a visible manifestation. The accusative singular form is represented in English as a singular direct object form without altering the core meaning. |
