| Conceptual Significance | ὕστερον marks temporal progression in narrative and discourse, often highlighting reversal, delayed understanding, or final outcome. In theological contexts, it can underscore divine timing, eschatological fulfillment, or the contrast between initial response and eventual realization. |
| Morphological Notes | Adverb (Gr,D); appears in comparative (C) and occasionally superlative (S) degree. As an adverb, it is indeclinable and modifies verbs or clauses to indicate subsequent time. |
| Rendering Rationale | ὕστερον is the neuter form of ὕστερος used adverbially, expressing what comes later in time. As an adverb in the comparative degree (and at times functioning as superlative), "later on" preserves the temporal sequencing inherent in the root while reflecting its adverbial function without adding unwarranted verbal force. |
