360. analuó

Strong's Lexicon

analuó: To depart, to return, to loosen, to dissolve

Original Word: ἀναλύω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: analuó
Pronunciation: an-al-oo'-o
Phonetic Spelling: (an-al-oo'-o)
Definition: To depart, to return, to loosen, to dissolve
Meaning: I unloose, unloose for departure, depart, return.

Word Origin: From the preposition ἀνά (ana, meaning "up" or "again") and λύω (luó, meaning "to loosen" or "to release").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀναλύω, the concept of departing or being released can be related to Hebrew terms like יָצָא (yatsa, Strong's 3318), meaning "to go out" or "to depart."

Usage: The Greek verb ἀναλύω (analuó) primarily means "to loosen" or "to release." In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe the act of departing or returning, particularly in the context of death or leaving this life. It conveys the idea of being released from the bonds of earthly existence to return to a heavenly home.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the concept of "loosening" or "releasing" was often associated with the soul's departure from the body at death. This imagery was common in both philosophical and religious contexts, where death was seen as a release from the physical constraints of the world. In the New Testament, this term is used to express the Christian hope of eternal life and the believer's ultimate return to God.
