| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + masculine singular common noun in construct state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שֹׁרֶשׁ denotes a literal or figurative root—an anchoring source or foundation. The construct singular form requires a following complement, so "root of" preserves the relational sense, and the prefixed וְ adds "and." |
