An exegesis is a slow, careful explanation of a piece of writing, going line by line to show what the writer meant. The word is used most for holy books — the Bible, the Qur'an — in churches and in university religion classes. A short Sunday talk is not quite an exegesis; an exegesis is longer and more learned, the kind of thing you write when you must defend every choice. People outside religion almost never say it. When they do, they mean a very close reading of any hard text. It is a formal, word. Say it roughly 'ek-suh-JEE-sis' (the g sounds like j).
釋經、經文詮釋
組成Borrowed from Ancient Greek ἐξήγησις (exḗgēsis), 'interpretation,' from ἐξηγέομαι (exēgéomai), 'to explain, interpret,' from ἐξ (ex, 'out') + ἡγέομαι (hēgéomai, 'to lead, to guide'). The picture is leading the meaning out of the text.
