Explanation: This is a compound phrase consisting of the infinitive verb 'ἀπερείδεσθαι' (to lean upon, to rely upon, to fix upon) and the definite article 'τὴν' (the, the one). When the article 'τὴν' is used with an infinitive, it often substantivizes the infinitive, turning it into a noun phrase. In this context, it likely refers to 'the act of leaning upon' or 'the one who leans upon', depending on the broader sentence structure. It implies directing one's weight, attention, or reliance towards something or someone.
