Thayer's STRONGS NT 1170: δεῖναδεῖνα, ὁ, ἡ; genitive δεινός; dative δεινι; accusative τόν, τήν, τό δεῖνα (cf. Matthiae, § 151), such a one, a certain one, i. e. one whose name I cannot call on the instant, or whose name it is of no importance to mention; once in the Scriptures, viz. Matthew 26:18. ( Aristophanes, Demosthenes, others.)
Strong's such a man. Probably from the same as deinos (through the idea of forgetting the name as fearful, i.e. Strange); so and so (when the person is not specified) -- such a man. see GREEK deinos |
