Morphological NotesAdjective (predicate), nominative masculine singular; describing or identifying a single male subject as characterized by injustice.
Rendering Rationale"Unjust one" preserves the alpha-privative negation of justice (δικ-) and reflects the nominative masculine singular form, which can function substantively to denote a person characterized by injustice.
