denotes, in general, "a man, an adult male" (in contrast to anthropos, which generically denotes "a human being, male or female"); it is used of man in various relations, the context deciding the meaning; it signifies "a husband," e.g., Matthew 1:16,19; Mark 10:12; Luke 2:36; 16:18; John 4:16,17,18; Romans 7:23 . See MAN.
primarily, "loving man," signifies "loving a husband," Titus 2:4 , in instruction to young wives to love their husbands, lit., "(to be) lovers of their husbands." The word occurs frequently in epitaphs.
lit., "under (i.e. subject to) a man," married, and therefore, according to Roman law under the legal authority of the husband, occurs in Romans 7:2 , "that hath a husband."
