Movement, motion, or stirring (particularly of water)
This noun denotes motion or movement, with uses ranging from physical motion to political movements and emotional disturbances. John 5:3 describes the moving or stirring of the pool waters at Bethesda (though this verse is textually uncertain in many manuscripts). The Spanish 'movimiento' and French 'mouvement' both capture the sense of movement. The setting involves those waiting for therapeutic water disturbance.

Senses
1. sense 1 Refers to movement or stirring, particularly of water. In the Bethesda narrative (where textually attested), this periodic disturbance of the pool waters was believed to have healing properties, drawing the sick and disabled who waited for the movement that might bring their cure—a hope Jesus transcends by healing directly.
