Sentidos
1. sense 1 — When used of human action: secrecy, privacy, or stealth. Judges 4:21 describes Jael approaching Sisera 'softly' or 'quietly,' while Ruth 3:7 has Ruth approaching Boaz 'secretly.' The adverbial phrase emphasizes undetected movement. Spanish 'en sigilo' (in stealth/secrecy) captures the furtive quality. This sense focuses on avoiding notice, whether for legitimate discretion or covert action, creating narrative suspense in these intimate or dangerous moments. 1×
