Strong's Lexicon sitistos: Fattened, well-fed Original Word: σιτιστός Word Origin: Derived from σῖτος (sitos), meaning "grain" or "food." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of "fattened" or "choice" is מִשְׁמַן (mishman, Strong's H4924), which refers to fatness or the best part, often used in the context of offerings or sacrifices. Usage: The term "sitistos" is used to describe something that is well-fed or fattened, often in the context of livestock or animals that have been prepared for a special occasion or feast. It conveys the idea of abundance and readiness, typically associated with celebration or sacrifice. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient agrarian societies, livestock that were "fattened" were considered valuable and were often reserved for significant events, such as religious sacrifices, feasts, or celebrations. The concept of a "fattened calf" is emblematic of hospitality and generosity, reflecting a culture where food was a central part of communal and religious life.
