Strong's Lexicon kataischuno: To shame, to disgrace, to confound, to dishonor Original Word: καταισχύνω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: kataischuno Pronunciation: kat-ahee-skhoo'-no Phonetic Spelling: (kat-ahee-skhoo'-no) Definition: To shame, to disgrace, to confound, to dishonor Meaning: I shame, disgrace, bring to shame, put to utter confusion, frustrate. Word Origin: From κατά (kata, meaning "down" or "against") and αἰσχύνω (aischuno, meaning "to shame" or "to disgrace") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H954 בּוּשׁ (buwsh) - to be ashamed, to feel shame - H3637 כָּלַם (kalam) - to insult, to humiliate, to shame Usage: The verb "kataischuno" primarily conveys the idea of bringing shame or disgrace upon someone. It can also imply causing someone to be confounded or put to shame, often in a public or humiliating manner. In the New Testament, it is used to describe both literal and metaphorical shaming, often in the context of spiritual or moral failure. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, honor and shame were pivotal social values. Honor was a public acknowledgment of one's worth, while shame was a public disgrace. The concept of shame was not only personal but also communal, affecting one's family and social standing. In the biblical context, shame often relates to one's standing before God and community, with a strong emphasis on moral and spiritual integrity.
