Berean Strong's Lexicon akairós: Inopportunely, untimely, out of season Original Word: ἀκαίρως Word Origin: Derived from the Greek prefix "a-" (not, without) and "kairos" (appointed time, season). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "akairós," the concept of untimely or inappropriate timing can be related to Hebrew words like "עֵת" (eth, Strong's H6256), which means time or season, often used in contexts where timing is crucial. Usage: The adverb "akairós" is used to describe actions or events that occur at an inappropriate or inconvenient time. It conveys the sense of something happening outside the proper or appointed time, often implying a lack of readiness or suitability. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the concept of "kairos" was significant, referring to the right or opportune moment. It was a time when conditions were perfect for a particular action. The prefix "a-" negates this, indicating a time that is not suitable or favorable. Understanding the importance of timing was crucial in various aspects of life, including agriculture, warfare, and social interactions.
