From the root: ΑΝΑΚΕΙΜΑΙ
Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This word is the 3rd person singular imperfect active indicative form of the verb 'ΑΝΑΚΕΙΜΑΙ' (ANAKEIMAI). It describes an action that was ongoing or habitual in the past, specifically referring to the act of reclining, often at a meal. In ancient Greek and Roman custom, people would recline on couches while eating, rather than sitting on chairs. Thus, it often means 'to be reclining at table' or 'to be at table'.
