ΚΑΤΑΔΕΙΔΩ, καταδειδω
KATADEIDŌ, katadeidō
Sounds Like: kah-tah-DEY-doh
Translations: to fear greatly, to be terrified
From the root: ΚΑΤΑΔΕΙΔΩ
Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This word appears to be a misspelling or a non-standard form of a Koine Greek verb. It is likely a combination of the prefix 'κατα-' (KATA-, meaning 'down' or 'against', often intensifying) and a form of 'δείδω' (DEIDO), which means 'to fear'. Therefore, it would mean 'to fear greatly' or 'to be terrified'. However, 'δείδω' itself is an older, poetic form, and the more common Koine Greek verb for 'to fear' is 'φοβέω' (PHOBEO). It's possible this word is a rare or archaic variant, or a scribal error.
Inflection: Does not inflect (as it's likely a root form or a theoretical construct)
Unknown: Yes
