Part of Speech: Participle

Explanation: This word is a present active participle derived from the verb 'ἐπιχειρέω' (epicheireō), meaning 'to put one's hand to, to attempt, to undertake, to endeavor'. It describes an action that is currently being performed or is ongoing. As a participle, it functions like an adjective or adverb, modifying a noun or verb, or can stand alone as a substantive (e.g., 'those who are attempting'). It is a compound word formed from 'ἐπί' (epi, 'upon, to') and 'χείρ' (cheir, 'hand'), literally meaning 'to put one's hand upon'.
