From the root: ΔΙΑ
Part of Speech: Preposition, Article
Explanation: The word "ΔΙΑΤΟ" is not a standalone word in Koine Greek. It appears to be a combination of the preposition "διά" (dia) and the accusative masculine singular form of the definite article "τόν" (ton). The preposition "διά" means "through," "by," "on account of," or "because of," and its meaning changes depending on whether it takes the genitive or accusative case. When followed by the accusative case, as it would be with "τόν," it typically means "on account of," "because of," or "for the sake of." The article "τόν" means "the" and is used to specify a masculine singular noun in the accusative case. Therefore, "ΔΙΑΤΟ" would function as "on account of the" or "because of the" when followed by a masculine singular noun.
