SIBI-P1 G2112-01

straightway

Rootεὐθέως (eutheōs)
Core Meaningsstraight, direct, at once, immediately, without delay
Semantic Rangeimmediately, at once, directly, without delay, forthwith, soon after, in a straight/direct manner
Conceptual SignificanceIn the New Testament, especially in Mark, εὐθέως underscores urgency and decisive action in the unfolding of events. It conveys not merely quick timing but a sense of direct, unhindered movement in the purposes and works of God.
Morphological NotesGr,D = adverb; indeclinable; modifies verbs to indicate manner or time, expressing immediacy or direct sequence.
Rendering RationaleThe adverb derives from εὐθύς (“straight, direct”), carrying the idea of something happening in a straight or direct manner without deviation or delay. “Straightway” preserves both the root sense of straightness and the adverbial force indicated by the morphology (Gr,D), conveying immediate and direct action.
