- καταδυναστεύω katadynasteúō · G2616 · to cause severe hardship, to oppress, to overwhelm
- The target term θλάω/θλίβω-related verb and καταδυναστεύω (“to exercise dominion against,” i.e. to oppress) share an identical sense: to cause severe hardship, to oppress, to overwhelm. The difference between a term rooted in imagery of physical crushing and one rooted in the exercise of dominating power is a matter of etymology and connotation, not of the core meaning the two words share.
