From the root: ΑΠΟΣΤΑΣΙΑ
Part of Speech: Noun, Verb, Adjective
Explanation: The word 'ΑΠΟΣΤΑ' is an uninflected form or a truncated form of several related Koine Greek words, primarily stemming from the root 'APO' (away from) and 'HISTEMI' (to stand). Depending on the context and the full word it represents, it can refer to a state of rebellion or defection (apostasy), or various actions of sending away, departing, or standing apart. Without diacritics and full inflection, its precise meaning is ambiguous and depends heavily on the surrounding words and grammatical structure.
Inflection: This form is likely a truncated or uninflected base. It could represent the stem of a noun like 'ΑΠΟΣΤΑΣΙΑ' (apostasy), or the stem of a verb like 'ΑΠΟΣΤΕΛΛΩ' (to send away) or 'ΑΦΙΣΤΗΜΙ' (to depart/revolt), or an adjective. Its exact inflection cannot be determined without further context or diacritics.
