ταρταρόω

The word ταρταρόω (tartaroō) is a Greek verb with the definition "hell: Tartarus". This term refers specifically to a place of torment, a bottomless pit in the underworld where those deemed wicked and rebellious are punished. There is a single occurrence of this word in the Bible, which implies its significance is focused on this one context. The fact that it only appears once suggests that this concept is not central to the broader narrative, but rather serves a specific purpose in that particular story.
