Strong's Lexicon trachus: Rough, rugged Original Word: τραχύς Word Origin: Derived from a primary root word meaning "rough" or "rugged." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with "τραχύς" is Strong's Hebrew 7186 (קָשֶׁה, qasheh), which means "hard" or "stiff," and is used to describe difficult or stubborn situations or people. Usage: The Greek word "τραχύς" (trachus) is used to describe something that is physically rough or rugged. It can refer to terrain that is difficult to traverse or surfaces that are not smooth. In a metaphorical sense, it can also describe situations or experiences that are challenging or harsh. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, particularly in the region of Palestine, the landscape was often rugged and difficult to navigate. Roads were not paved as they are today, and travelers frequently encountered rough terrain. This physical reality often served as a metaphor for life's challenges and the spiritual journey, which could be fraught with difficulties and obstacles.
