a launching-point
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,AFS = noun, accusative, feminine, singular; functioning typically as a direct object or object of certain prepositions. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun ἀφορμή combines ἀπό (from) with ὁρμή (impulse, rush, onset), conveying the idea of a point from which movement or action proceeds. Rendering it as "a launching-point" preserves this imagery of an initiating base. The accusative feminine singular form is reflected as a singular direct object in English ("a launching-point"). |
