Exegesis
The prepositional phrase en tō hierō {ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ | en tôi hierôi} ‘in the temple’ situates the acclamation.
The liturgical exclamation Hosanna {Ὡσαννὰ | Hôsannà} with the dative tō huiō Daudíd {τῷ υἱῷ Δαυίδ | tôi huíō Daudí} ‘to the Son of David’ marks Messianic acclaim. The main verb then conveys the leaders’ emotional response, contrasting praise and indignation to heighten theological tension.
Root and etymology
thēlazōthē-lá-zō

But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that He did and the children crying out in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” they became indignant.
