Exegesis
The clause hē thygatēr mou kakōs daimonizetai {ἡ θυγάτηρ μου κακῶς δαιμονίζεται | hē thygátēr mou kakôs daimónizetai} ‘my daughter is badly demon-possessed’ uses kakōs {κακῶς | kakôs} as an adverb modifying the passive verb, intensifying the ongoing demonic affliction. In translation, the participial structure is rendered with finite verbs and temporal sequencing in both formal and dynamic reconstructions to preserve the flow while making the discourse natural, and the vocative titles are maintained to keep the theological weight of the woman’s confession.
In context — Matthew 15:22
And behold, a Canaanite woman from those regions came out and was crying out, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord , Son of David ; my daughter is badly demon-possessed.”
