Pronunciation: kroop-TOS
Phonetic Spelling: (kroop-tos')
Definition: Hidden, secret, concealed
Meaning: hidden, secret; as subst: the hidden (secret) things (parts), the inward nature (character).

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb κρύπτω (kruptō), meaning "to hide" or "to conceal."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of hidden or secret is סָתַר (sathar), Strong's Hebrew 5641, which means "to hide" or "to conceal."

Usage: The Greek adjective κρυπτός (kruptos) is used in the New Testament to describe things that are hidden or secret. It often refers to actions, thoughts, or things that are not visible or known to others but are known to God. The term emphasizes the contrast between what is outwardly visible and what is inwardly concealed.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of hidden or secret things was significant in both religious and philosophical contexts. Mystery religions, for example, often involved secret rites and knowledge. In Jewish thought, the idea of God knowing the hidden things of the heart was a common theme, reflecting the belief in God's omniscience and the importance of inner purity over outward appearances.
