Explanation: This word is the genitive singular form of a feminine noun ending in -σύνη, such as δικαιοσύνη (righteousness), σύνεσις (understanding), or σωφροσύνη (soundness of mind). It indicates possession or origin, often translated with 'of' in English. For example, 'fruit of righteousness' (καρπὸν δικαιοσύνης).
