Usage: The word πτενός is not directly used in the New Testament. It is a descriptive term that would be used to describe something that has feathers or wings, often in a metaphorical or illustrative context. Context: The Greek adjective πτενός, meaning "feathered" or "winged," is derived from the root πτερόν, which refers to a feather or wing. While πτενός itself does not appear in the New Testament, its root concept is significant in biblical literature, often symbolizing swiftness, protection, or divine presence. For instance, wings are frequently used in Scripture to depict God's protective care, as seen in passages like Psalm 91:4, "He will cover you with His feathers; under His wings you will find refuge." Although πτενός is not directly cited, the imagery of wings and feathers is prevalent throughout biblical texts, illustrating themes of shelter, speed, and spiritual ascent.
