Cognate: 4239 praýs (also listed as 4239a/praupathia in NAS dictionary) – meek. See 4236 (praótēs).

This difficult-to-translate root (pra-) means more than "meek." Biblical meekness is not weakness but rather refers to exercising God's strength under His control – i.e. demonstrating power without undue harshness.

[The English term "meek" often lacks this blend – i.e. of gentleness (reserve) and strength.]

STRONGS NT 4239: πραΰς

πραΰς, see πρᾷός.

meek.

Apparently a primary word; mild, i.e. (by implication) humble -- meek. See also praios.

see GREEK praios
