Rootשרש (š-r-š)
Core Meaningsrooting, taking root, source, foundation, that which is planted deep
Semantic Rangeliteral root of a plant; source or origin of a person or people; foundational cause; deep-seated basis; metaphorical underpinning
Conceptual Significanceשֹׁרֶשׁ conveys the idea of hidden origin and sustaining source, whether of a plant, a lineage, or a spiritual condition. Biblically, it often symbolizes foundational identity—such as the root of a people or the deep moral or spiritual source from which actions and destinies grow.
Morphological NotesConjunction וְ prefixed to a masculine singular noun in the construct state (שֹׁרֶשׁ). The construct form links the noun to a following genitive, expressing possession or source.
Rendering RationaleThe noun שֹׁרֶשׁ means "root" in both literal and figurative senses, derived from the verbal idea of taking root or being firmly planted. The form is masculine singular construct (Ncmsc) with prefixed conjunction וְ, so "and root of" preserves the singular construct state, indicating something that belongs to or proceeds from this root.
