Translations: unspeakable, inexpressible, unutterable, secret, sacred
From the root: ΑΠΟΡΡΗΤΟΣ
Part of Speech: Adjective
Explanation: This word is an adjective meaning 'unspeakable' or 'inexpressible'. It describes something that cannot be spoken or told, often due to its sacred, secret, or profound nature. It is a compound word formed from 'απο' (apo, 'from, away from') and 'ρητος' (rhetos, 'spoken, said'), with the negative prefix 'α-' (a-). The initial 'μεν' (men) is a particle often used to emphasize or contrast, but in this context, it likely serves to strengthen the adjective, making it 'truly unspeakable' or 'indeed unspeakable', rather than forming a new compound with a distinct meaning. It is used to describe things that are beyond human words or comprehension.
