Strong’s Greek Lexicon
from a compound of G5384 and G4413; to be fond of being first, i.e. ambitious of distinction:—love to have the preeminence.
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.
