| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,NFS = noun, nominative case, feminine gender, singular number. Functions typically as the subject or predicate nominative in a clause. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun ἀπώλεια derives from ἀπόλλυμι (“to destroy, to lose”) and denotes the state or result of being destroyed or lost. Rendering it as “ruin” preserves the core idea of destructive loss. The morphology (nominative feminine singular) indicates a singular subject-form noun, which in English is naturally expressed simply as “ruin.” |
