enhypostasia

Meaning

Noun

• The state of the human nature of Jesus Christ being entirely dependent on, and not existing independently of, the divine nature of God as a whole (which is the hypostasis of the Holy Trinity comprising God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit), or individual persons of the Trinity such as the Father and the Holy Spirit.

Origin

• Borrowed from Ecclesiastical Latin enhypostasia, from Ancient Greek ἐν ("in") + ὑπόστασις + -ία. is in turn derived from ῠ̔πο- + στάσις. Compare Ancient Greek ἐνυπόστατος ("substantial").
• The word is analysable as en- + hypostasis.
