Strong's Lexicon
diagogguzó: To murmur, to grumble, to complain

Original Word: διαγογγύζω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: diagogguzó
Pronunciation: dee-ag-ong-GOO-zo
Phonetic Spelling: (dee-ag-ong-good'-zo)
Definition: To murmur, to grumble, to complain
Meaning: I murmur greatly, continue murmuring.

Word Origin: From the Greek prefix διά (dia, meaning "through" or "thoroughly") and γογγύζω (gogguzó, meaning "to grumble" or "to murmur").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with murmuring or grumbling is לון (lun, Strong's H3885), which appears in contexts such as the Israelites' complaints in the wilderness (e.g., Exodus 16:2, Numbers 14:2).

Usage: The verb διαγογγύζω (diagogguzó) is used to describe a thorough or intense form of murmuring or complaining. It implies a sense of dissatisfaction or discontent that is expressed in a subdued or secretive manner. This term is often used in contexts where there is a communal or collective expression of discontent, typically against leadership or divine provision.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, public discourse and expression of dissatisfaction were common, especially in political and social contexts. The act of murmuring or grumbling was often seen as a form of passive resistance or dissent. In the Jewish context, murmuring against God or His appointed leaders was considered a serious offense, reflecting a lack of faith and trust in divine providence.

HELPS Word-studies

1234 diagoggýzō (an onomatopoetic term imitating the sound of cooing doves and humming bees) – constantly, intensely murmur (grumble, complain) – an intensified form of 1111 /goggýzō ("murmur") to convey "heavy complaining," i.e. the constant "buzz" of negative murmuring (note the prefix, dia).

[Lk 5:30 uses the simple form (1111 /goggýzō), which likewise is uncommon. But the "compound with dia- (1234 /diagoggýzō) is still rarer . . . and more expressive" (WP, 2, 240).]
