What it means: A single unit of language.

In a sentence: I wrote a word in my notebook.

Same family: Word (title for Christ), wording, wordless, Scripture, Logos. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: This religious use of "Word" comes from the Greek term "Logos" in the New Testament, especially in the Gospel of John. Early Christian writers used "Logos" to describe Jesus as God’s living message or expression, which English translators rendered as "the Word."
