From the root: ἘΦΙΗΜΙ, ΚΑΙ
Part of Speech: Participle, Conjunction
Explanation: This word appears to be a concatenation of two separate Koine Greek words: the participle 'ἐφιέμενος' (ephiemenos) and the conjunction 'καί' (kai). 'Ἐφιέμενος' is a present middle/passive participle from the verb 'ἐφίημι', meaning 'to send forth, to long for, to desire, to strive after'. It describes someone who is desiring or aiming at something. 'Καί' is a common conjunction meaning 'and', 'also', or 'even'. Therefore, the combined form likely means 'desiring and' or 'longing for and'.
