Strong’s Greek Lexicon
from a compound of the base of G3357 and G3806; to be moderate in passion, i.e. gentle (to treat indulgently):—have compassion.
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.
