French (Bailly abrégé)

ου (ὁ, ἡ)
héritier, héritière.
Étymologie: κλῆρος, νέμω.

English (Strong)

from κλῆρος and the base of νόμος (in its original sense of partitioning, i.e. (reflexively) getting by apportionment); a sharer by lot, i.e. inheritor (literally or figuratively); by implication, a possessor: heir.

English (Thayer)

κληρονόμου, ὁ (κλῆρος, and νέμομαι, to possess), properly, one who receives by lot; hence,
1. an heir (in Greek writings from Plato down);
a. properly: one who receives his allotted possession by right of sonship: so of Christ, as κληρονόμος πάντων, all things being subjected to his sway, τοῦ Θεοῦ added, i. e. of God's possessions, equivalent to τῆς δόξης (see δόξα, III:4b.), Θεοῦ διά Χριστοῦ, by the favor of Christ (inasmuch as through him we have obtained ἡ υἱοθεσία), for which L T Tr WH read διά Θεοῦ (see διά, A. III:1) (cf. C. F. A. Fritzsche in Fritzschiorum opuscc., p. 148 (who advocates the as that reading in which the others probably originated (but cf. Meyer, in the place cited; WH in loc.))); τοῦ κόσμου, of government over the world, ζωῆς: αἰωνίου, τῆς βασιλείας, one who has acquired or obtained the portion allotted him: with the genitive of the tiring, τοῦ σκότους, used of the devil, Ev. Nicod. c. 20 (or Descens. Chr. ad Inferos 4,1). (The Sept. four times for יורֵשׁ: Micah 1:15.)
