The Greek word "polymerōs" (Strong's number: G4181) is a compound word formed from "poly-" (meaning many or frequently) and the root "meros" (meaning part). Its short definition is "little by little". This indicates that the word emphasizes progression or accumulation in small increments. Given its occurrence in the Bible is only 1, the word "polymerōs" appears to be a relatively rare term in the New Testament. Its limited usage suggests that the author intended to convey a particular nuance of gradual or incremental action.
