Explanation: This word appears to be a compound of 'γοῦν' (goûn), meaning 'at least then' or 'at any rate', and 'ἐλεεῖσθαι' (eleeisthai), the present passive infinitive of 'ἐλεέω' (eleeō), meaning 'to have mercy on' or 'to pity'. Therefore, it would mean 'to be pitied at least' or 'to be shown mercy at least'. It is an unusual or possibly unique compound word, not commonly found in standard Koine Greek texts. It would function as an infinitive, expressing the action of being pitied or shown mercy.
