What is the Greek word for blush?

There isn't a single Greek word for "blush" in the sense of the rosy color on the cheeks. Here's why and some options:

* Greek focuses on the action, not the color: Greek often uses verbs to describe the act of blushing rather than focusing on the color itself.

* Possible options:

* Ερυθρεύω (erythreuō): This verb means "to redden" or "to blush," but it's more general than just the cheeks.

* Ερυθρίζω (erythrizo): Similar to "erythreuō," but it can be used specifically for blushing.

* Ροδίζω (rodizo): This verb means "to become rosy" and could be used for blushing.

To describe the actual color:

* Ερυθρός (erythros): Red

* Ροδινός (rodinos): Rosy, pinkish

Ultimately, the best Greek translation depends on the context and what you want to emphasize.
