Strong's Greek Dictionary (1890) says these words are built from one another, all going back to φίλος philos (G5384). Each line says which source links it. Words with a prefix are listed with their main word, not with the prefix. Related words can still differ in meaning.

- Φίλητος Philētos G5372 “Philetus” built from φιλέω G5368 (per Strong's) in 1 verse
Built from πρός pros G4314 + φιλέω phileō G5368 (per Strong's). The first part is a prefix (a preposition or a short prefix such as “un-”), so the word is listed with the family of the last part only, never with the prefix.
