Strong's Lexicon akaireomai: To lack opportunity, to miss the right time Original Word: ἀκαιρέομαι Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἀ- (a-, meaning "not" or "without") and καιρός (kairos, meaning "opportune time" or "season"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀκαιρέομαι, the concept of missing an opportune time can be related to Hebrew terms like עֵת (et, meaning "time" or "season") and פָּסַח (pasach, meaning "to pass over" or "to miss"). Usage: The verb ἀκαιρέομαι (akaireomai) is used to describe the state of lacking an opportune moment or missing the right time to act. It conveys a sense of being out of season or not having the chance to do something that one might have intended or desired to do. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of καιρός (kairos) was significant, referring to the right or opportune moment. It was often contrasted with χρόνος (chronos), which referred to chronological or sequential time. The idea of missing a kairos moment would have been understood as missing a critical opportunity, which could have implications in various aspects of life, including agriculture, politics, and personal relationships.
