Kyrios or kurios (κύριος) is a Greek word that is usually translated as "lord" or "master." It appears roughly 7,000 times in the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible.
However, the English word curious is not derived from the Greek word Kurios. The similarity between "curious" and "kurios" is phonetic only - a coincidental resemblance in sound, without any shared linguistic ancestry.
Nevertheless, I find this to be a very curious coincidence (pun intended). For it is through curiosity first and foremost that we can find our calling and align with our soul purpose. Kurios is what calls; curiosity is what orients. The direction of our attention often governs our destiny.
