one spreading wide
| Root | פסק (p-s-q) |
| Core Meanings | dividing, spreading apart, separating, opening wide |
| Semantic Range | to divide or separate, to spread apart (feet or lips), to open wide, by extension to act loosely or licentiously |
| Conceptual Significance | The root conveys the physical act of opening or parting, which can extend metaphorically to moral looseness or unrestrained behavior. Its imagery highlights exposure, separation, or lack of restraint within biblical thought. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine singular absolute (HVqrmsa), from the primitive root פסק. Functions adjectivally or substantivally to describe one who performs the action of spreading or opening apart. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Qal active participle masculine singular, describing a male individual characterized by the action of the root. "One spreading wide" preserves the core idea of separating or opening apart inherent in פסק while accurately reflecting the masculine singular participial form. |
