γίνεσθαι
gínomai
take place
to become, to come into being, to happen; primarily denotes the process of transition from one state to another, the coming into existence or reality of something that was not previously so. In various contexts, it can also mean to occur, take place, arise, develop, or change; sometimes serves as a circumlocution for 'to be' when indicating the process or result of becoming, rather than simple existence. Used of events, states, and sometimes of persons or things coming to be in a particular role or status.

to become
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present tense (ongoing/process), middle voice (subject involved in its own change), infinitive mood. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present middle infinitive expresses the process of coming into being or entering a new state. "To become" preserves the core idea of transition and ongoing emergence inherent in the present tense and middle voice form. |
