It describes an ongoing or repeated action in the past. It is a compound word formed from 'ἐκ' (ek), meaning 'out of' or 'from', and 'χωρέω' (chōreō), meaning 'to go' or 'to make room'. Thus, it literally means 'to go out from' or 'to withdraw from'. It would be used in a sentence to describe a group of people or things moving away from a place.
