MLV/Definition: A> [LITERAL:] separate^, separates*, separated*, separating^; B> [BY EXT:] depart^, departed^
(put some room in between things or people) (In passive form in 1Cor 7, this word was a technical term for divorce in NT times, as Milligan and Moulton demonstrate from the papyri. The process of divorce under civil law in Corinth was that of both the Romans and the Greeks. There was no such thing, as our legal system has of a “Legal Separation” under that system, when one deserted a spouse, they were divorced. When one forced the other out of the home, they were divorced. Furthermore, no court judged formally in this matter.)

Legend

Every English word above has a symbol next to it. The symbol shows how that English word matches the Greek word it comes from.

* — This English word is used the same way every time this Greek word appears. One Greek word, one English word, always.

^ — This English word is also used for other Greek words built from the same root (related "family" words).

^^ — This English word is shared by two or more different Greek words that are synonyms (not just related family words).

~ — This English word is not uniform. Either it's a small helper word (like "be" or "have" or "ultimately"), or English simply doesn't have enough separate words to match the Greek exactly.
