ἄψινθος

The Greek word ἄψινθος (apsinthos) is defined as "wormwood." This term refers to a type of bitter plant, likely the plant Artemisia absinthium, which is known for its strong, unpleasant taste and smell. The word appears twice in the Bible, indicating its importance in the cultural and natural context of the ancient world. Its use in the biblical text suggests that wormwood was a recognizable and significant plant to the authors and their audience. The semantic domain of "Construction & Crafts" is somewhat unexpected for a word that refers to a plant. However, it is possible that the plant was used in various crafts or construction projects, such as dyeing or medicinal applications, which would explain its inclusion in this domain.
