Explanation: This word is a stem that forms the basis for several related Koine Greek words, all revolving around the concept of 'quietness' or 'stillness'. Depending on the full word formed from this stem, it can function as an adjective (describing something as quiet or peaceful), a noun (referring to the state of quietness or peace), or a verb (meaning to be quiet, to keep silence, or to live a tranquil life). It often implies a state of rest, freedom from disturbance, or a calm demeanor.
Inflection: This is a stem, not a complete inflected word. It forms the basis for various inflections across different parts of speech (e.g., nouns like ΗΣΥΧΙΑ, adjectives like ΗΣΥΧΙΟΣ, and verbs like ΗΣΥΧΑΖΩ). Therefore, it does not inflect on its own.
