English (Strong)
from Α (as a negative particle) and ζύμη; unleavened, i.e. (figuratively) uncorrupted; (in the neutral plural) specially (by implication) the Passover week: unleavened (bread).
English (Thayer)
(ζύμη), Hebrew מַצָּה, unfermented, free from leaven; properly: ἄρτοι Josephus, Antiquities 3,6, 6; hence the neuter plural τά ἄζυμα, מַצּות, unleavened loaves; ἡ ἑορτή τῶν ἀζύμων, הַמַּצּות חַג, the (paschal) festival at which for seven days the Israelites were accustomed to eat unleavened bread in commemoration of their exit from Egypt (ἡ πρώτη (namely, ἡμέρα) τῶν ἀζύμων. αἱ ἡμέραι τῶν ἀζύμων. τά ἄζυμα, Winer s Grammar, 176 (166); Buttmann, 23 (21)). Figuratively: Christians, if such as they ought to be, are called ἄζυμοι i. e. devoid of the leaven of iniquity, free from faults, ἑορτάζειν ἐν ἀζύμοις εἰλικρινείας, to keep festival with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth, Athen. 3,74 (ἄρτον) ἄζυμον, Plato, Tim., p. 74d. ἄζυμος σάρξ flesh not yet quite formed (add Galen de alim. fac. 1,2).)
