how to say “empowerment” in Hebrew

 

הַעֲצָמָה
 

 

 
Everyone likes feeling powerful. And it’s a pleasure to help someone else feel it.
 
The Hebrew word for empowerment is הַעֲצָמָה   .  It is the noun version of the active-causative verb לְהַעֲצִים   to empower – of the root ע.צ.מ (a.ts.m).
 
For example:
 
הִיא לָמְדָה קוּרְס הַעֲצָמָה אִישִׁית.
She took (studied) a course in personal empowerment.
 
 
Another word of the same root is עָצְמָה    power or fortitude.
 
For example:
 
הָרוּחַ נוֹשֶׁבֶת בְּעָצְמָה אַדִּירָה הַיּוֹם.
The wind is blowing very powerfully today.
