Part of Speech: Verb, Particle
Explanation: This is a compound word formed from the aorist infinitive middle/passive of the verb ἀποσείω (aposeiō), meaning 'to shake off' or 'to cast off', and the enclitic particle μέν (men), which adds emphasis or indicates a contrast, often translated as 'indeed' or 'on the one hand'. The combination suggests an action of shaking off or rejecting, with an added nuance of certainty or a contrasting element. It would be used in a sentence to describe the act of forcefully removing or dismissing something.
