| Root | ἕτοιμος (hétoimos) |
| Core Meanings | ready, prepared, fit, in a state of readiness, made ready |
| Semantic Range | ready, prepared, made fit, at hand, in a state of preparedness, available for use |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, ἕτοιμος and its forms often describe readiness for divine action, judgment, hospitality, or obedience. The term conveys a state of preparedness aligned with purpose, whether human readiness before God or things prepared according to God’s plan. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective from ἕτοιμος; forms attested here are neuter plural nominative (Gr,NP,,,,NNP,) and neuter plural accusative (Gr,NS,,,,ANP,). The same surface form ἕτοιμα serves for both nominative and accusative neuter plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | ἕτοιμα is the neuter plural form of ἕτοιμος and can function as nominative or accusative. Rendering it as "the ready (things)" preserves its adjectival force while reflecting its neuter plural form, allowing it to function substantivally as "things in readiness." |
