Strong's Lexicon katanussó: To pierce thoroughly, to be pricked, to be deeply moved or affected. Original Word: κατανύσσω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "κατά" (kata, meaning "down" or "against") and the verb "νύσσω" (nusso, meaning "to prick" or "to pierce"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with similar concepts of being pierced or deeply moved is Strong's Hebrew 1856 (דָּקַר, daqar), which means "to pierce" or "to stab." Usage: The verb "katanussó" is used in the New Testament to describe a deep emotional or spiritual piercing, often associated with conviction or remorse. It conveys the idea of being deeply moved or cut to the heart, typically in response to a powerful message or realization of truth. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of being "pierced" or "pricked" was often associated with a sudden and profound emotional response. This could be in reaction to a speech, a revelation, or an encounter with the divine. In the context of the New Testament, this term is used to describe the reaction of individuals who are confronted with the truth of the Gospel and experience a deep conviction of their need for repentance and transformation.
