Explanation: This word is a compound of the participle ΔΙΔΟΥΣ (didous), meaning 'giving', and the noun ΠΡΟΔΟΤΗΣ (prodotēs), meaning 'betrayer' or 'traitor'. It literally means 'a giving betrayer' or 'one who gives and betrays'. It describes a person who is characterized by both giving and betraying. It is highly unusual to find these two words compounded in Koine Greek, suggesting it might be a unique or ad-hoc formation, possibly for emphasis or a specific rhetorical purpose in the given context. It is not a standard compound word found in lexicons.
