of decay
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine, singular, genitive (Gr,N,,,,,GFS): denotes possession, source, or relation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive singular form denotes possession or source, so "of decay" preserves the noun’s core sense of a state or process of deterioration or ruin. "Decay" reflects the root idea of corruption or destruction without narrowing it to only moral or physical contexts. |
