You have come to this site to find the meaning of holy. I will not disappoint you in that regard, but before I give an answer to that question you need to know that the definition of holy or qadosh (Hebrew) or hagios (Greek) requires a little extra research, to put it very kindly. Fortunately, the high quality options are only three. They are: 1) moral wholeness, 2) pure, or 3) set apart. The lexicographer Hesychius is not a household name, but he has been very important in trying to determine the meaning of holy. His lexicon written around the third to fourth century time range is regarded as a great treasure for determining the meaning of many Greek words. In this case, we are talking about the meaning of hagioi or hagios. I want to tell you what I have found in examining the evidence from his lexicon.
