From the root: ΑΡΙ
Part of Speech: Prefix, Adverb
Explanation: The word 'ΑΡΙ' is primarily used as an intensive prefix in Koine Greek, meaning 'very,' 'exceedingly,' or 'greatly.' It serves to amplify the meaning of the word it precedes, often forming compound words. For example, it can be found in words like 'ἀριστερός' (aristeros, 'left,' but originally 'best' or 'most excellent') or 'ἀρίθμητος' (arithmetos, 'innumerable'). While not a standalone word in common usage, its meaning is derived from its function as a prefix. It can also function adverbially to mean 'well' or 'best'.
