Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This verb means to strike upon, to beat, or to smite. It implies an action of hitting or striking something or someone. It is a compound word formed from the preposition ΕΠΙ (upon, on) and the verb ΛΗΓΩ (to cease, to stop). However, in this specific compound, the meaning of ΛΗΓΩ shifts from 'to cease' to 'to strike' or 'to beat', likely related to an older or less common sense of the root, or a different etymological path for the compound itself. It describes a forceful impact.
