Explanation: This word describes something that is not flooded, overflowed, or inundated. It is a compound word formed from the privative prefix 'ἀν-' (un-), the preposition 'ἐπί' (upon, over), and a form related to the verb 'κλύζω' (to wash, to overflow). Therefore, it literally means 'not overflowed upon' or 'not inundated'. It would be used to describe a place or object that remains dry despite potential for flooding.
