Part of Speech: Conjunction, Participle
Explanation: This is a compound word formed from the conjunction 'και' (kai), meaning 'and', and the genitive singular masculine/neuter aorist active participle of 'φθάνω' (phthanō). The participle 'φθάσαντος' means 'having come', 'having arrived', 'having reached', 'having anticipated', or 'having preceded'. Therefore, 'καιφθάσαντος' means 'and having come' or 'and having arrived', indicating an action that occurred prior to the main verb, often with a sense of reaching a place or achieving something first. It functions to connect a preceding clause with a subsequent action, emphasizing the completion of the action of 'coming' or 'arriving'.
