ἀνδρίς

Ancient Greek

From ἀνήρ, ἀνδρός (anḗr, andrós, “man”) +‎ -ις (-is).

ἀνδρίς • (andrís) f (genitive ἀνδρίδος); third declension

Used to preserve the sense of the line from Genesis with original Biblical Hebrew אִשָּׁה (ʾiššā, “woman”) from אִישׁ (ʾîš, “man”). Most commonly translated simply as γυνή (gunḗ, “woman”), while some translators have added a gloss to the original Hebrew term, transcribed as ἐσσά (essá). Has also been translated as λῆψις (lêpsis, “taking hold”), as also Latin assumptio, in reference to how she was “taken out of man”.

Third declension of ἡ ἀνδρῐ́ς; τῆς ἀνδρῐ́δος (Koine)
