Exegesis
The final aorist passive exeranthe {ἐξηράνθη | exēránthē} ‘was withered’ presents the resultant outcome. The translation uses English causal clauses to render the Greek articular infinitive, preserving the cause-and-effect progression from sun rising to scorching to withering.
Root and etymology
ξηραίνω
“to dry up, make dry”
In context — Mark 4:6
And when the sun rose, it was scorched, and since it lacked a root , it withered.
