Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This verb means to reject or repudiate someone or something, often with the implication of a formal decision or vote against them. It is a compound word formed from 'ἀπό' (APO, 'from, away from') and 'χειροτονέω' (CHEIROTONEO, 'to stretch out the hand, to vote by stretching out the hand'). Thus, it literally means 'to vote away from' or 'to vote against', leading to the sense of rejecting or deposing by vote. It describes an action of formally dismissing or disowning.
