From the root: ΔΙΑ
Part of Speech: Preposition, Prefix
Explanation: ΔΙΑΤ is not a standalone word but a prefix, a truncated form of the preposition ΔΙΑ (dia), meaning 'through' or 'by means of'. It is commonly found at the beginning of compound verbs and nouns, indicating movement through something, separation, or completion. For example, in 'ΔΙΑΤΡΕΧΟΝ' (diatrechon), it combines with 'τρέχω' (trecho - to run) to mean 'running through'. In 'ΔΙΑΤΕΤΑΓΜΕΝΟΥΣ' (diatetagmenous), it combines with 'τάσσω' (tasso - to arrange) to mean 'arranged through' or 'thoroughly arranged'. The 'Τ' at the end of ΔΙΑΤ is part of the verb stem that follows, not part of the prefix itself, which is ΔΙΑ.
Inflection: Does not inflect (as a prefix); the full preposition ΔΙΑ inflects for case (takes Genitive or Accusative).
