Rootזוד (z-w-d)
Core Meaningsto boil, seethe, act presumptuously, behave arrogantly
Semantic Rangearrogance, insolence, presumptuousness, willful rebellion, proud excess
Conceptual Significanceזָדוֹן conveys not merely pride but a willful, heated arrogance that oversteps rightful bounds, often in defiance of YHWH’s authority. It characterizes deliberate rebellion and moral overconfidence, highlighting the danger of unchecked inner pride that erupts into sinful action.
Morphological NotesMasculine singular common noun, absolute state (HNcmsa). Abstract noun derived from the verbal root זוד.
