It is a compound adjective formed from 'ΕΙΔΩΛΟΝ' (eidōlon), meaning 'idol' or 'image', and 'ΘΥΩ' (thyō), meaning 'to sacrifice' or 'to offer'. It describes something, typically meat, that has been offered as a sacrifice to pagan idols. In ancient contexts, consuming such meat was a significant issue for early Christians, as it could be seen as participating in idolatry. It is often used in discussions about food purity and ethical conduct.
