Strong's Lexicon huperogkos: Arrogant, boastful, pompous Original Word: ὑπέρογκος Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ὑπέρ (huper, meaning "above" or "beyond") and ὄγκος (ogkos, meaning "bulk" or "mass"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "huperogkos," similar concepts can be found in words like גָּאוֹן (ga'on, Strong's H1347), meaning "pride" or "arrogance." Usage: The term "huperogkos" is used to describe something that is excessively large or swollen, often metaphorically referring to speech or behavior that is boastful or arrogant. In the New Testament, it is used to characterize the grandiose and empty words of false teachers who seek to impress or deceive others with their inflated rhetoric. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, rhetoric and oratory were highly valued skills. Public speakers often used elaborate and grandiose language to persuade or impress their audiences. However, such speech could also be used deceitfully, to manipulate or mislead. The early Christian community was warned against those who used such tactics to distort the truth of the Gospel.
