acquittal
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine, singular, accusative (Gr,N,,,,,AFS) — direct object form of δικαίωσις. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun δικαίωσις denotes the act or result of declaring someone righteous or legally in the right. "Acquittal" captures the legal pronouncement inherent in the root δικαι- and preserves its juridical force; the accusative singular form does not alter the lexical meaning in English. |
