| Root | ἄρωμα (arōma) |
| Core Meanings | aromatic substance, fragrance, spice, sweet scent |
| Semantic Range | spices, perfumes, fragrant substances, aromatic preparations used for anointing or burial |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical contexts, ἄρωματα are associated with honor, devotion, burial customs, and acts of love or reverence, especially in preparation of bodies for burial, underscoring themes of mortality, honor, and covenantal faithfulness. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun; accusative case; neuter gender; plural number (Gr,N,,,,,ANP,). Functions as a direct object in its occurrences. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the root sense of a substance that gives off scent (from the idea of sending forth fragrance) while keeping the concrete, material focus of the noun. The plural form reflects the neuter accusative plural (ANP), indicating multiple aromatic items functioning as the direct object in the clause. |
