"Charitoo"?

[Jim_Baur]

What does “charitoo” mean?

What is the history behind it.

This is in “Hail, Mary, FULL OF GRACE,” as found in Luke’s Gospel.

Thanks!

I just want to hear the facts.

I will most likely not respond.

I just want to learn about this Greek word!

THANKS

First off, it’s not Charitoo, it’s κεχαριτωμενη or kecharitōménē, it’s an odd word in the Greek, as it’s present perfect passive voice particle, which we do not generally see in the English Language (or Latin for that matter, St Jerome, Doctor of the Church, and translator of the Vulgate render kecharitōménē Gratia Plena, or Full of Grace), this means that the particle (which shares characteristics of a verb and an adjective) is in the past, present and future tense all at the same time.

It’s actually very complex, I can’t truly go into proper detail as my knowledge of Koine Greek is very, shall we say, limited .

The tense of the conjugated verb is such that the action was done in the past… and it has an effect to this present day and beyond. Made full of grace.

How is it that the KJV translates it differently?

What is the history behind it?

Thanks!
