         DefinitionShort: (causative derivative of {L:μωρία} ‘foolishness,’ {D:32.57}) to cause the content of certain thoughts to become devoid of meaning

         Glosses: to cause to become nonsense

         Comments: In {S:04600102000022} the focus is upon the content of wisdom and nonsense, and it may be necessary to make this explicit, for example, ‘the people of the world thought that what they understood was wise, but God showed that their thoughts were foolish’ or ‘… their way of thinking was foolish.’

         DefinitionShort: to become insipid or tasteless

         Glosses: ['to become tasteless', 'to lose taste']

         Comments: In {S:04000501300022} μωραίνομαι is equivalent to {L:ἄναλος} ({D:5.27}), that is to say, to be without a salt taste. Pure salt cannot actually lose its taste, but the sodium chloride of impure salt can be leached out, especially in humid weather, and the remaining substance is accordingly tasteless. See also discussion at {D:5.25}.
