Part of Speech: Verb

Explanation: This word is a verb meaning 'to separate,' 'to set apart,' 'to divide,' or 'to appoint.' It is a compound word formed from the preposition ἀπό (apo), meaning 'from' or 'away from,' and the verb ὁρίζω (horizo), meaning 'to mark out boundaries' or 'to define.' Therefore, it literally means 'to mark off from' or 'to set boundaries away from.' It is used to describe the act of isolating something or someone for a specific purpose or to designate a particular area or function.
