Apt

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia · James Orr and contributors

(Literally, "fitted"): Applied to one distinguished for readiness in meeting demands of some special situation, or emergency. For this, there is no specific Biblical word in either Old Testament or New Testament. It occurs always in the English translations in paraphrases, as "apt for war" (2Ki 24:16), "apt to teach," Greek "didaktikos" (1Ti 3:2; 2Ti 2:24).
