βιβρώσκωto eat (ancient Greek)
Etymology
Βρώμα comes from the ancient Greek noun βρῶμα, meaning food or meat. It is built from the verb βιβρώσκω, to eat, using the suffix -μα, which marks the result of an action. So the word literally names the thing eaten. It appears often in the Greek New Testament, where it denotes food in both a literal and symbolic sense.
