Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This verb describes the act of speaking in a foreign language, or more specifically, in a language unknown to the speaker, often referred to as 'speaking in tongues' in a religious context. It is a compound word formed from 'εξ' (ex, meaning 'out of' or 'from'), 'ξενος' (xenos, meaning 'foreign' or 'stranger'), and 'λογος' (logos, meaning 'word' or 'speech'). Thus, it literally means 'to speak out foreign words'. It is used to describe a miraculous ability to speak languages one has not learned.
