Definition: The English term "agism" comes from the Greek language, which means "to agitate." It can be used metaphorically to describe someone or something that behaves aggressively, without being malicious or threatening. In biblical context, it refers to an aggressive act by a person or group of people toward another. The exact meaning and definition of "agism" in biblical terms may differ slightly from the original Greek term. However, when applied as a metaphorical term, it generally implies that someone's actions are hostile, not malicious or threatening, and they do not intend harm to others.
