Translations: heartless, senseless, foolish, without understanding, an understanding-less
From the root: ΚΑΡΔΙΑ
Part of Speech: Adjective
Explanation: This word describes someone who lacks understanding, wisdom, or spiritual insight. It is formed from the privative alpha (meaning 'not' or 'without') and the word 'kardia' (heart), literally meaning 'without heart'. In ancient Greek thought, the 'heart' was often considered the seat of intellect and understanding, not just emotion. Therefore, 'akardios' refers to someone who is foolish or senseless, lacking in discernment.
