Berean Strong's Lexicon ektarassó: To disturb greatly, to agitate, to trouble intensely. Original Word: ἐκταράσσω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "ἐκ" (ek, meaning "out of") and the verb "ταράσσω" (tarassó, meaning "to disturb" or "to trouble"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with similar meanings is "בָּהַל" (bahal, Strong's H926), which means to be dismayed or terrified. Usage: The verb "ektarassó" conveys a sense of being deeply disturbed or agitated. It implies an intense emotional or mental turmoil, often resulting in confusion or distress. In the New Testament, it is used to describe a profound inner disturbance, often in response to a significant or alarming event. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, emotional disturbances were often seen as disruptions to one's inner peace and rationality. The concept of being "troubled" or "agitated" was not only a personal experience but also had social and communal implications, as it could affect one's ability to fulfill societal roles and responsibilities. In the context of the New Testament, such disturbances often relate to spiritual or existential crises, reflecting the tension between the present world and the coming Kingdom of God.
