1933. epieikés

epieikés: seemly, equitable, yielding
Original Word: ἐπιεικής, ές
Part of Speech: Adjective
Transliteration: epieikés
Phonetic Spelling: (ep-ee-i-kace')
Short Definition: gentle, mild, forbearing, fair, reasonable
Definition: gentle, mild, forbearing, fair, reasonable, moderate.

1933 epieikḗs(an adjective, derived from 1909 /epí, "on, fitting" and eikos, "equitable, fair"; also see the noun-form, 1932 /epieíkeia, "equity-justice") – properly, equitable; "gentle" in the sense of truly fair by relaxing overly strict standards in order to keep the "spirit of the law."

1933 /epieikḗs ("justice beyond ordinary justice") builds on the real intent (purpose) of what is really at stake (note the epi, "upon") – and hence, is true equity that appropriately fulfills the spirit (not just the letter) of the law.

Word Origin
from epi and eoika (see also eikó)
Definition
seemly, equitable, yielding
