Definition
πάθος, -ους, τό
(πάιτχω), [in LXX: Job.30:31 (אֵבֶל), Pro.25:20, and very frequently in (4Ma.1:1 n, al.)* ;]
like πάθημα;
1. that which befalls one, that which one suffers
2. a passive emotion or affection (esp. of violent emotion), a passion, passionate desire; in NT always in bad sense: Col.3:5; π. ἀτιμίας, Rom.1:26; π. ἐπιθυμίας, 1Th.4:5.†
SYN.: π. = πάθημα, exc. that πάθημα is the more concrete and particular. In NT usage, π. represents the passive, ungoverned aspect of evil desire, as opposite to ἐπιθυμία, which is the active and also the more comprehensive term (see Tr., Syn., LXXxvii); cf. also ὄρεξις
