outward form
| Morphological Notes | Noun; accusative; feminine; singular (Gr,N,,,,,AFS) — denotes a single formed appearance functioning as a direct object or equivalent syntactic role. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Outward form" reflects the root μορφ- (“to shape, to give form”) and the noun suffix -σις indicating the result or state of being formed. The accusative feminine singular marks it as a single instance of such a formed appearance or pattern. |
