Definition: The word "Snapdragon" is a diminutive form of the Greek "Sphinx," often used in religious texts to denote a particular deity or saint. It's characterized by its unique shape, which resembles that of an insect and has been associated with various biblical characters such as Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, and Daniel. Its diminutiveness can sometimes be seen as a metaphor for the shortness of life or the fleeting nature of things in the Bible.
