The meaning of 'Enosh'

Question

Daniel 7:13 son of man. Man used here is not Adam or geber but Anosh/enash ( from Enoch -frail weak definition - is the root word anoch/enash another word …. Why ?

Answer

Thank you for your question,
in biblical Hebrew ‘Enosh’ is not used as a description of weakness (not to get mixed up with modern-day Ivrit that ‘anush’ means critical condition), the word ‘Enosh’ is a name of man, not a description. The root of the word is from Genesis chapter 4 verse 26.
