It is a diminutive form, often implying youth or smallness, and is used to describe a girl who is not yet of marriageable age. The term is used in contexts that highlight the innocence and vulnerability of young girls.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Greco-Roman world, children, especially girls, were considered to be under the authority and protection of their fathers until they were married. Girls were often married at a young age, and their roles were primarily domestic. The use of "korasion" in the New Testament reflects the cultural view of young girls as dependent and in need of care and protection.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>dim. of koré (a maiden)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>girl<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>girl (7), little girl (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 2877: κοράσιον</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">κοράσιον</span></span>, <span class="greek2">κορασίου</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span> (diminutive of <span class="greek2">κόρη</span>), properly, a colloquial word used disparagingly (like the German <span class="foreign">Mädel</span>), <span class="accented">a little girl</span> (in the epigram attributed to <span class="abbreviation">Plato</span> in (<span class="abbreviation">Diogenes Laërtius</span> 3, 33; <span class="abbreviation">Lucian</span>, as. 6); used by later writers without disparagement (<span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, 24 (23)), <span class="accented">a girl, damsel, maiden</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/9-24.htm">Matthew 9:24</a>; <a href="/interlinear/matthew/14-11.htm">Matthew 14:11</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/5-41.htm">Mark 5:41</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/6-22.htm">Mark 6:22, 28</a>; (occasionally, as in <span class="abbreviation">Epictetus</span> diss. 2, 1, 28; 3, 2, 8; 4, 10, 33; the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> for <span class="hebrew">נַעֲרָה</span>; twice also for <span class="hebrew">יַלְדָּה</span> <a href="/interlinear/joel/3-3.htm">Joel 3:3</a> (Joel 4:3); <a href="/interlinear/zechariah/8-5.htm">Zechariah 8:5</a>; (Tobit 6:12; Judith 16:12; <a href="/interlinear/esther/2-2.htm">Esther 2:2</a>)).
