Sounds Like: EH-pee-dee
Translations: upon, on, over, to, against, in addition, through, across, apart, two
From the root: ΕΠΙ, ΔΙ
Part of Speech: Preposition, Prefix
Explanation: This word is a compound of two prefixes: 'ἐπι-' (epi-) and 'δι-' (di-). 'Ἐπι-' means 'upon,' 'on,' 'over,' 'to,' or 'against,' often indicating direction, position, or addition. 'Δι-' is a prefix derived from 'διά' (dia) or 'δύο' (duo), meaning 'through,' 'across,' 'apart,' or 'two.' When combined, they form the beginning of verbs or nouns, adding the combined sense of 'upon/through' or 'upon/two' to the root word. For example, in 'ἐπιδιώκειν' (to pursue), 'ἐπι-' adds the sense of 'upon' or 'after,' and 'διώκειν' means 'to chase.' In 'ἐπιδιπλώσειν' (to fold double), 'ἐπι-' means 'upon' and 'διπλόω' means 'to double.'
Inflection: Does not inflect; it is a prefix.
