G12 — ἄβυσσος

in classic Greek an adjective, (ος, (from ὁ βύσσος equivalent to βυθός), bottomless (so perhaps in Wis. 10:19), unbounded (πλοῦτος ἄβυσσος, Aeschylus, the Sept. (931) 950). in the Scriptures ἡ ἄβυσσος (the Sept. for תְּהום) namely, χώρα, the pit, the immeasurable depth, the abyss. Hence, of 'the deep' sea: Gen 1:2; Gen 7:11; Deu 8:7; Sir. 1:3 Sir. 16:18, etc.; of Orcus (a very deep gulf or chasm in the lowest parts of the earth: Psalm 70:20 ἐκ τῶν ἀβύσσων τῆς γῆς, Euripides, Phoen. 1632 (1605) ταρτάρου ἄβυσσα χάσματα, Clement of Rome, 1 Cor. 20, 5 [ET] ἀβύσσων ἀνεξιχνίαστα κλίματα, ibid. 59, 3 [ET] ὁ ἐπιβλέπων ἐν ταῖς ἀβύσσοις, of God; (Act. Thom.32ὁ τήν ἄβυσσον τοῦ ταρτάρου οἴκων, of the dragon)), both as the common receptacle of the dead, Rom 10:7, and especially as the abode of demons, Luk 8:31; Rev 9:1; Rev 9:11; Rev 11:7; Rev 17:8; Rev 20:1, Rev 20:3.

字義溯源：無底的，深不可測的，深淵，陰間；由（G1（α / ἄλφα）=G427（ἄνευ）*=不，無）與（G1037（βυθός）=深）組成；其中G1037（βυθός）出自G899（βάθος）=深奧，G899（βάθος）出自G901（βαθύς）=極深的，G901（βαθύς）出自G939（βάσις）=腳步，而G939（βάσις）出自G901（βαθύς）X*=行走。這字本意是深，深到一個地步，有如無底似的深。新約九次使用這字，除了羅馬書一次繙為陰間外，其餘八次都繙為無底坑（或：無底）。主回來時，撒但要被捆綁扔在無底坑裏一千年（啓20:1,2）。此外，這字的音譯：阿畢所士，也是一個原始神的名字。
