Berean Strong's Lexicon
epaphrizó: To foam up, to froth

Original Word: ἐπαφρίζω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: epaphrizó
Pronunciation: eh-paf-ree'-zo
Phonetic Spelling: (ep-af-rid'-zo)
Definition: To foam up, to froth
Meaning: I foam out (a metaphor from the seaweed and refuse borne on the crest of waves), vomit forth.

Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "ἐπί" (epi, meaning "upon" or "over") and "ἀφρίζω" (aphrizo, meaning "to foam").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "epaphrizó," similar imagery can be found in Hebrew words like "רָתַח" (rathach, Strong's H7570), meaning "to boil" or "to be agitated," which conveys a similar sense of turbulence or agitation.

Usage: The verb "epaphrizó" is used to describe the action of foaming up or frothing, often in the context of water or other liquids. In a metaphorical sense, it can describe an intense or agitated state, similar to the way water foams when disturbed.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the imagery of foaming water was often used to describe the sea's turbulent nature or the agitation of a crowd. The concept of foaming was also associated with the idea of something being stirred up or agitated, which could apply to both physical and emotional states.
