NCADOR is a pen name derived from the Greek phrase
ἐν χάριτι δὲ δωρεάν (en chariti de dōrean). ἐν (en) — in, within χάριτι (chariti) — grace (dative of χάρις) δὲ (de) — but / yet / a gentle turn in thought δωρεάν (dōrean) — freely, without cost
Taken together, the phrase may be rendered as: “In grace — yet freely.” or “Within grace, and still without cost.”
The conjunction δέ does not introduce opposition in a strict sense, but marks a pause or turn in rhythm—a subtle reminder that grace, though encompassing all, remains unearned and unpurchased.
The name NCADOR echoes this structure: en (ἐν), cha/ca (χάρις), and dor (δωρεάν), not as a literal contraction, but as a phonetic and conceptual resonance.
t signifies a posture rather than a claim: that what is written proceeds within grace, and is therefore offered freely.
