Clear evidence for the verb and noun outside bibl. and eccl. writings appears to be wanting : cf. Anz Subsidia, p. 374 f. The suffix -άζειν was as active as our -fy in producing new words, and the abstract -ασμός accompanied it, as -fication accompanies our verb. When therefore ἅγιος was appropriated in Jewish circles to represent their special idea of ";holiness,"; it was natural that the factitive derivative should be coined from it, as a technical term which would be immediately understood by any Greek, even if he had never met with the actual form. The series was the more needed, as Greek religion had already the forms ἁγίζω, ἁγισμός, ἁγιστεύω, ἁγιστήριον, etc., with their technical meanings : the variant words with the added -α - answered to them in function, but were free from pagan association.
