3011 leitourgós (a masculine noun derived from leitos, "belonging to the people" and 2041 /érgon, "work") – properly, an official servant (minister) who works for the good of the community. In the NT (and LXX), this root (leitourg-) is especially used for priestly-service given to God, impacting all who witness it.

[3011 (leitourgós) was originally a term for public service done by an official minister of the State. In classical Greek, it means "one who discharges a public office at his own expense, then, generally, a public servant, a minister, servant" (Abbott-Smith). That is, "a servant of the state, assuming public office to be administered at his own expense" (L & N, 1, 461, fn 5).]

Note: The leitourg- word-family consists of: 3008 (leitourgéō), 3009 (leitourgía), 3010 (leitourgikós), and 3011 (leitourgós). In the NT, it points to serving God in His sublime "otherness" and sharing this with others.
