Strong's Lexicon asunetos: Foolish, senseless, without understanding Original Word: ἀσύνετος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek prefix ἀ- (a-, "not") and σύνετος (sunetos, "intelligent" or "wise"), which comes from συνίημι (suniēmi, "to understand"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent in Strong's Concordance, similar concepts can be found in words like נָבָל (nabal, "foolish") and אֱוִיל (ewil, "fool"). Usage: The term "asunetos" is used in the New Testament to describe a lack of understanding or discernment. It characterizes individuals who are unable or unwilling to comprehend spiritual truths or moral principles. This adjective often conveys a moral deficiency, indicating a willful ignorance or rejection of God's wisdom. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, wisdom and understanding were highly valued, often associated with philosophical and ethical living. The biblical use of "asunetos" contrasts the wisdom of God with the folly of human reasoning apart from divine revelation. In Jewish thought, wisdom was closely linked to the fear of the Lord and adherence to His commandments, making "asunetos" a serious spiritual shortcoming. HELPS Word-studies 801 asýnetos (from 1 /A "not" and 4908 /synetós, "synthesized understanding") – properly, without comprehension; foolish because incoherent (failing to "put facts together"). 801 /asýnetos ("lacking synthesis") describes a person failing to structure information in a meaningful way, and therefore unable to reach necessary conclusions.
