harmful evil
| Morphological Notes | Substantive adjective; accusative singular neuter (Gr,NS,,,,ANS,), functioning as a noun meaning "that which is evil/harmful." |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the root sense of causing pain or trouble (from πόνος) and the developed moral sense of active, malignant evil. As neuter accusative singular used substantively, it denotes "evil" as a harmful reality or thing, without specifying a personal referent. |
