Strong’s Greek Lexicon
from a compound of G1 (as a negative particle) and G5316 [compare G1810] (meaning non-apparent); unexpected, i.e. (adverbially) suddenly:—sudden, unawares.
Owing to changes in the enumeration while in progress, there were no words left for numbers 2717 and 3203–3302, which were therefore silently dropped out of the vocabulary and references as redundant.
