3931 parēgoría (from parēgoreō, "to speak or counsel in a soothing way") – properly, comfort, solace (relief); consolation that alleviates by bringing soothing relief, taking away unnecessary pain and discomfort (LS).

3931 /parēgoría ("soothing help") is "primarily an addressing (address) to bring a soothing, solace like medicines which allay irritation" (Vine, Unger, White, NT, 111). 3931 /parēgoría ("soothing exhortation, consolation) is only used in Col 4:11.

Lightfoot, Comm. on Col., 237), i.e. "comfort" in the sense of "to quiet or soothe" (M. Vincent). The English term paregoric, "soothing medication," comes from this Greek word.]
