Usage: The Greek adjective "bathus" is used to describe something that is deep or profound, often in a physical sense, such as deep waters or a deep pit. It can also be used metaphorically to describe profound thoughts or deep emotions. In the New Testament, it is used to convey both literal and figurative depths.
