διαγρηγορέω G1235
to awaken fully, become completely awake; to emerge from sleep or drowsiness into full consciousness
This compound verb intensifies the simple 'to wake,' emphasizing complete or thorough awakening. Luke 9:32 describes Peter, James, and John who, though heavy with sleep, 'fully awakened' to witness Christ's transfiguration. The prefix suggests not mere stirring but achieving full alertness. The Spanish 'despertando completamente' and French 'rester éveillé' capture this intensive nuance of complete wakefulness.
