λεπρὸς
leprós
leper
Covered with a scaly or rough skin condition, specifically one regarded as irregular, diseased, or abnormal. In most contexts, refers to a person exhibiting symptoms of a scaly skin disease, most commonly identified as 'leprous,' but the precise ancient classification does not correspond precisely to modern clinical definitions of leprosy (Hansen's disease). Used for both physical descriptors and for individuals subject to social exclusion due to perceived contagion of the illness.

scaly-skinned man

| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the root idea of scaliness or rough texture rather than a specific modern diagnosis. The nominative masculine singular substantive adjective is expressed as a singular male individual characterized by this condition. |
