It often refers to a geographical location or a defined space within a larger context. The term can imply a physical place or a metaphorical space, depending on the context in which it is used.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "χῶρος" was significant in understanding territorial boundaries and the division of land. Regions were often defined by natural landmarks or political boundaries. The term would have been familiar to both Jewish and Gentile audiences in the first century, as it was commonly used in both secular and religious texts to describe areas of land or jurisdiction.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of Latin origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>the northwest wind<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>northwest (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 5566: χῶρος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">χῶρος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">χωρου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span>, <span class="accented">the northwest wind</span> (Latin<span class="latin">Corus</span> or<span class="latin">Caurus</span>): for the quarter of the heavens from which this wind blows, <a href="/interlinear/acts/27-12.htm">Acts 27:12</a> (on which see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">λίψ</span></span>, 2).<FOOTNOTE:1> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>northwest wind<p>Of Latin origin;
