to the very bone

Root	עצם (ʿ-ṣ-m)
Core Meanings	strength, firmness, bone, essence, substance
Semantic Range	bone; skeletal frame; physical body; inner substance; essential self; strength; intensity (idiomatically, “very” or “utterly”).
Conceptual Significance	In biblical thought, the bone represents strength, structural integrity, and the core of one’s being. It can signify deep identity or essential reality, expressing what is most inward, enduring, or fundamental in a person or matter.
Morphological Notes	Preposition לְ with definite article (assimilated) + noun common feminine singular absolute (עֶצֶם). The noun is feminine singular and here appears in a prepositional phrase.
Rendering Rationale	The form לָעָצֶם consists of the preposition לָ (“to the”) with the definite article and the feminine singular noun עֶצֶם (“bone,” from a root meaning strength or firmness). Rendering it “to the very bone” preserves the singular, definite form and reflects the root sense of essential strength or inner substance.
