Translations: humanitarian weakness, philanthropic weakness, human weakness
From the root: ΦΙΛΑΝΘΡΩΠΟΣ, ἈΣΘΕΝΕΙΑ
Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: This word appears to be a compound of 'φιλάνθρωπος' (philanthropos), meaning 'human-loving' or 'philanthropic', and 'ἀσθένεια' (astheneia), meaning 'weakness' or 'infirmity'. The combination 'φιλανθρωπονασθένεια' is highly unusual and likely a unique or ad-hoc compound, or possibly a scribal error or a very specific philosophical term not commonly attested. It would literally mean 'human-loving weakness' or 'philanthropic weakness', possibly implying a weakness that stems from or is related to human kindness or compassion. Given its rarity, it's not clear how it would be used in a typical sentence, but it would function as a singular noun.
