Explanation: This word is an inflected form of the verb 'ΑΝΤΕΧΟΜΑΙ' (antechomai), which means to hold fast to something or someone, to cling to, or to be devoted to. It can also imply supporting or resisting. The prefix 'αντι' (anti) means 'against' or 'in front of', and 'εχω' (echo) means 'to have' or 'to hold'. Thus, it literally means 'to hold against' or 'to hold in return'. It is often used in the middle voice, indicating an action done for oneself or with personal involvement.
Inflection: Present, Imperative, Active, Second Person, Singular (possibly a truncated form of 'ΑΝΤΕΧΕ' or 'ΑΝΤΕΧΟΥ')
