From the root: ΔΙΑΦΘΕΙΡΩ

Part of Speech: Verb, Article

Explanation: This is a compound word formed by the verb 'διαφθείρω' (diaphtheirō) and the definite article 'τόν' (ton). The verb 'διαφθείρω' means to corrupt, destroy, ruin, spoil, or deprave. The form 'διαφθείρουσι' indicates the third person plural, present active indicative, meaning 'they corrupt' or 'they destroy'. The article 'τόν' is the masculine singular accusative form of 'the'. Therefore, the combined word means 'they corrupt the' or 'they destroy the'. It would be used in a sentence where a plural subject is performing the action of corrupting or destroying a masculine singular object.
