Explanation: This word is a compound of two distinct Koine Greek words: 'ΕΑΥΤΩΝ' (heautōn) and 'ἈΠΕΙΛΑΣ' (apeilas). 'ΕΑΥΤΩΝ' is the genitive plural form of the reflexive pronoun 'ἑαυτοῦ', meaning 'of themselves' or 'their own'. 'ἈΠΕΙΛΑΣ' is the accusative plural form of the noun 'ἀπειλή', meaning 'threats'. When combined, as seen in the example, it means 'their own threats' or 'threats against themselves'. It describes a situation where threats are directed towards the very people making or experiencing them.
