ἀσπάζομαι
aspázomai · Greek · Strong's G782 · 60 occurrences
The KJV renders 3 different Hebrew and Greek words as “salute”
What it means
to enfold in the arms, i.e. (by implication) to salute, (figuratively) to welcome
from G1 (Α) (as a particle of union) and a presumed form of G4685 (σπάω);
How the KJV renders it
embrace, greet, salute, take leave
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
“embrace”
also renders symperilambánō (G4843)
“take leave”
also renders apotássomai (G657)
