SIBI-P1 G1742-01
a put-on garment
| Root | ἔνδυμα (éndyma) |
| Core Meanings | garment, clothing, that which is put on, outer covering |
| Semantic Range | clothing in general, a garment, outer robe, apparel, attire (literal); by extension, figurative clothing such as moral character or spiritual condition. |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, ἔνδυμα can denote ordinary clothing but also carries symbolic weight—garments representing righteousness, purity, honor, or identity. Because it is something "put on," it readily serves as imagery for adopting a new way of life or being clothed with divine provision. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun; neuter singular. Occurs as accusative neuter singular (ANS) and nominative neuter singular (NNS). As a neuter second-declension noun, nominative and accusative forms are identical in the singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from ἐνδύω ("to put on, to clothe oneself"), so "put-on garment" preserves the verbal root idea of something worn by being put on. The forms attested are neuter singular (nominative and accusative), so the rendering reflects a single concrete item that can function either as subject or direct object in the sentence. |
