Berean Strong's Lexicon theatrizó: To make a spectacle of, to expose publicly, to put on display. Original Word: θεατρίζω Word Origin: Derived from θέατρον (theatron), meaning "theater" or "a place for public show." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent to "theatrizó," the concept of public shame or exposure can be related to Hebrew terms such as בּוּשׁ (buwsh, Strong's H954), meaning "to be ashamed," or חֶרְפָּה (cherpah, Strong's H2781), meaning "reproach" or "disgrace." Usage: The verb "theatrizó" is used to describe the act of making someone or something a public spectacle, often with the connotation of shame or ridicule. It implies exposing someone to public view in a manner that subjects them to scorn or derision. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, public spectacles were common, often held in theaters or arenas. These events could range from dramatic performances to public punishments. The concept of being made a spectacle was understood as being put on display for the amusement or judgment of others, often in a humiliating manner. This cultural context highlights the severity of being "theatrized" as it involved public exposure and potential disgrace.
