Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This verb means to lose all hope, to despair, or to give up entirely. It describes a state of utter hopelessness and is often used to convey a sense of abandonment or desperation. It is a compound word formed from 'ἀπό' (APO), meaning 'from' or 'away from', and 'νοέω' (NOEO), meaning 'to perceive, to think, to understand'. Thus, it literally means 'to think away from' or 'to cease to think' in a positive sense, leading to despair.
