Sounds Like: ah-EE-reh-sin-ee-MAR-meh-nay
Translations: fated choice, destined sect, fated heresy, destined fate, fated destiny
From the root: ΑΙΡΕΣΙΣ, ΕΙΜΑΡΜΕΝΗ
Part of Speech: Noun, Adjective
Explanation: This appears to be a compound word formed from 'αἵρεσιν' (hairesin), the accusative singular of 'αἵρεσις' (hairesis), meaning 'choice, sect, heresy', and 'εἱμαρμένη' (heimarmenē), which means 'fated' or 'destined', and is often used as a noun meaning 'fate' or 'destiny'. The combination 'ΑΙΡΕΣΙΝΕΙΜΑΡΜΕΝΗ' is highly unusual and not a standard Koine Greek word. It likely refers to a 'fated choice' or 'destined sect/heresy', or perhaps even 'destined fate' if 'αἵρεσιν' is used in a less common sense of 'taking up' or 'choosing' a fate. Given its rarity, it might be a specific philosophical or theological term, or potentially a transcription error in the source text.
Inflection: Compound word. 'ΑΙΡΕΣΙΝ' is Accusative, Singular, Feminine. 'ΕΙΜΑΡΜΕΝΗ' is Nominative, Vocative, or Accusative, Singular, Feminine.
