Usage: The verb καθοράω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of seeing or perceiving something with clarity or understanding. It often implies a deeper or more comprehensive observation than merely seeing with the eyes.

It is used in contexts where the observer gains a clear or comprehensive view of a situation or object. This term is distinct from other Greek words for seeing, such as βλέπω (blepō) or ὁράω (horaō), as it often implies a more profound or discerning observation.
