Delilah
Proper noun; the personal name of a woman associated with the narrative of Samson. In its original context, the name likely conveys a sense of 'delicateness, frailty, or languishing,' consistent with its verbal root, but as a proper name it primarily identifies the specific individual known from the narrative. Its meaning in the text is not directly tied to her actions or character beyond functioning as a unique identifier.
