Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: This word refers to the state of being uncircumcised, or more literally, the foreskin itself. It is a compound word formed from 'ἄκρος' (AK-ros), meaning 'highest' or 'outermost point', and 'βύστη' (BY-stee), meaning 'foreskin'. In a literal sense, it refers to the physical foreskin. Metaphorically, especially in a religious context, it often signifies a state of being outside the covenant or not belonging to the chosen people, as circumcision was a sign of the covenant.
