Sounds Like: ah-POP-too-deh
Translations: to spit out, to reject, to despise
From the root: ΑΠΟΠΤΥΩ
Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This word is an inflected form of the verb ἀποπτύω (apoptyo), meaning 'to spit out' or 'to reject with contempt'. It is a compound word formed from the prefix ἀπό (apo), meaning 'from' or 'away from', and the verb πτύω (ptyo), meaning 'to spit'. The enclitic particle -δε is appended, which can mean 'and' or 'but', or indicate motion 'to' or 'towards', but in this context, it is likely part of the verb's ending or a scribal error. The word implies a strong act of rejection or disdain, as if spitting something out.
Inflection: Unknown. The ending -ουδε does not correspond to a standard Koine Greek verbal inflection. It is highly probable that this word is a misspelling or a garbled form of another word, or it could be a very rare or specialized form not commonly attested. If it were a standard form, it might be related to a participle or an infinitive, but the ending is irregular.
