From the root: ΣΠΟΥΔΗ
Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: This word appears to be a concatenation of the definite article 'ΤΗΝ' (the) and the noun 'ΣΠΟΥΔΗΝ' (diligence, earnestness, zeal, haste). In standard Koine Greek, these would typically be written as two separate words: 'ΤΗΝ ΣΠΟΥΔΗΝ'. The noun 'ΣΠΟΥΔΗ' refers to a state of being earnest, diligent, or zealous, often implying a sense of urgency or haste. It can be used to describe the effort put into an action or the speed with which something is done. When combined with the definite article, it specifies 'the' particular diligence or haste being referred to.
