241. Gr. u(posta&sesin . Hypostasis denotes the real nature of a thing, as underlying its outward form and properties. It is thus equivalent to ou)si/a , and to its own Latin etymological representative substantia. The Latin Christians, however, since they used substantia to translate ousia, found it necessary to use a different term to translate hypostasis, and adopted persona ( pro&swpon ) . Hypostasis thus came to differ from ousia as species differs from genus, so that it denoted the specific nature ( i0diw&mata ) of a person or thing, in contra-distinction to the generic nature.
