Aorist: Definition and part of speech

Aorist

  1. n. A tense in the Greek language, which expresses an action as completed in past time, but leaves it, in other respects, wholly indeterminate.

The word meanings were obtained from OPTED(The Online Plain Text English Dictionary), which is based on “The Project Gutenberg Etext of Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary” which is in turn based on the 1913 US Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary (See Project Gutenburg), as a text file.
