Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This verb means to cut off or cut away, often with the implication of severing something completely. It is a compound word formed from the Greek words 'ΑΚΡΟΣ' (AKROS), meaning 'highest' or 'outermost point', and 'ΤΕΜΝΩ' (TEMNO), meaning 'to cut'. Thus, it literally means 'to cut at the extreme end' or 'to cut off completely'. It can be used in both a literal sense (e.g., cutting off a branch) and a figurative sense (e.g., being cut off from a group or privilege).
