| Root | δαιμόνιον (daimonion) |
| Core Meanings | divine being, spirit-being, lesser deity, demon |
| Semantic Range | spirit-being, lesser divine power, false god, demon, unclean spirit; in Hellenistic contexts could refer broadly to supernatural beings, but in the New Testament consistently to hostile spirits opposed to God. |
| Conceptual Significance | In the biblical text, δαιμόνια represent personal, malevolent spirit-beings that afflict humans and oppose the reign of God, highlighting the conflict between the kingdom of God and the realm of spiritual uncleanness and deception. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,ANP = noun, accusative case, neuter gender, plural number; functions typically as the direct object in a clause. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term δαιμόνιον is a diminutive form related to δαίμων, referring to a spirit or divine being; in Jewish and early Christian usage it denotes hostile spirit-beings. The accusative neuter plural form indicates multiple spirit-beings functioning as direct objects in their clauses, which is reflected in the plural rendering "demon-spirits." |
