Berean Strong's Lexicon phragmos: Fence, wall, hedge Original Word: φραγμός Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb φράσσω (phrasso), meaning "to fence in" or "to enclose."

Usage: The term "phragmos" refers to a physical barrier such as a fence, wall, or hedge. It is used metaphorically in the New Testament to describe divisions or separations, particularly in a spiritual or communal context.
