Explanation: This word refers to a wild animal or beast, often implying a dangerous or untamed creature. It is used to describe various animals, particularly those found in the wilderness, and can sometimes carry a negative connotation, referring to a monstrous or savage entity. It is a diminutive of the word 'θηρ' (thēr), meaning 'wild beast', but in Koine Greek, it often takes on the primary meaning of 'wild beast' itself rather than a small one.
