ἀγαπητός

Strong’s: G27

Associated OET lemmas: ἀγαπητός

Notes: ἀγαπητός in this sense is typical of a term which shares significant components from two different semantic domains. In the context of OET MAT 3:17 the focus seems clearly to be upon the distinctive and unique elements of meaning, but it would be entirely wrong to rule out the supplementary component of being loved and cherished (see ἀγαπητός[a], 25.45: ἀγαπητός).

Form 1

Part of speech: adjc.

Inflections: ἀγαπητός; -ή, -όν

Related lemmas: ἀγαπάω

Sense 1: object of one’s affection, one who is loved, beloved, dear

Semantic entry: 25.45

Semantic domains: Attitudes and Emotions

Subdomains: Love, Affection, Compassion

Definition: (derivative of ἀγαπάω[a] ‘to love,’ 25.43: ἀγαπάω / 25.43: ἀγάπη) pertaining to one who or that which is loved

Notes: It is also possible to understand ἀγαπητός in OET MAT 12:18 as ‘the only beloved one’ (see 58.53: ἀγαπητός), and the meaning may, in fact, be simply ‘only’ or ‘unique.’ This meaning has evidently arisen because of the association of ἀγαπητός with μονογενής ‘unique, only’ (58.52: μονογενής).
