Explanation: This word is a compound verb formed from the preposition ἐκ (ek), meaning 'out of' or 'from,' and the verb ἅπτω (haptō), meaning 'to fasten' or 'to kindle.' Therefore, ἐξάπτω means 'to kindle thoroughly,' 'to set on fire,' or 'to inflame.' It can be used literally for starting a fire or metaphorically for provoking anger or conflict. As a participle, it describes an action that has already occurred, often indicating the cause or circumstance of another action.
