aisthétérion: organ of perception

Part of Speech: Noun, Neuter
Transliteration: aisthétérion
Phonetic Spelling: (ahee-sthay-tay'-ree-on)
Short Definition: perceptive faculty
Definition: perceptive faculty.

145 aisthētḗrion (a neuter noun derived from aio, "perceive, discern through the senses") – properly, "the organ of sense" (BAGD), emphasizing the result of sensory experience (sensation) – i.e. moral feeling to know what is right or wrong in God's eyes (used only in Heb 5:14 and in the plural).

"145 (aisthētērion, neuter noun) focuses on the principle of sense and especially its result. 144 /aísthēsis (the feminine cognate) is the brand of sense-discernment which shrewdly sizes things up. 145 (aisthētḗrion) is "the concrete organ of sense, becoming virtually a habitual ability which must be developed and enables believers to distinguish between the spirits. It is a spiritual gift which must be developed in practice" (DNTT, 2, 391).

[Like 144 /aísthēsis, 145 /aisthētḗrion comes from 143 /aisthánomai ("to perceive with the aid of the physical senses").]

Word Origin
from aisthanomai and -térion (suff. denoting place)
