Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This word is likely an elided form of 'δέρκεις' (derkeis), which comes from the verb 'δέρκομαι' (derkomai). It means 'to see', 'to look', or 'to gaze'. It is used to describe the act of perceiving with the eyes, often with an implication of a fixed or intense look. The apostrophe indicates an elision, where a vowel has been dropped, possibly for poetic or rhythmic reasons, or due to a specific dialectal pronunciation.
