Explanation: This word is a truncated form of the Koine Greek root for 'safe' or 'secure'. It is not a complete word on its own but forms the basis for various words related to safety, certainty, and firmness, such as the adjective 'ἀσφαλής' (asphalēs, meaning safe, secure, certain) and the adverb 'ἀσφαλῶς' (asphalōs, meaning safely, securely, certainly). It describes something that is not liable to fall or be overthrown, hence firm and steadfast.
Inflection: This is a root or stem, not an inflected word itself. It forms the basis for adjectives, adverbs, and verbs.
