Lemmaφαίνω
Strong'sG5316

SIBI-P1 G5316-08

of the one being-made-visible

Morphological NotesVerb; present tense; passive voice; participle; genitive masculine singular (Gr,V,PPM,GMS). The present participle conveys ongoing action or state, and the passive voice indicates the subject is being acted upon (being made visible).
Rendering RationaleThe root φαίνω carries the idea of shining or bringing into visibility. As a present passive participle in the genitive masculine singular, φαινομένου denotes an ongoing state of being shown or being made visible, and the genitive case is reflected by "of the one." This preserves both the light/visibility imagery and the grammatical form.
