a.tsav denotes pain or an afflicted condition, though its lone occurrence does not isolate its contribution.

The lone attestation places the adjective in Daniel's address to the king, but the surrounding translation does not isolate how the term contributes to that greeting; its sense is therefore retained at the level of pain or affliction.
