From the root: ΚΑΤΑΔΥΝΩ
Part of Speech: Verb, Conjunction
Explanation: This word is a compound of the aorist infinitive of the verb ΚΑΤΑΔΥΝΩ (katadynō), meaning 'to sink down' or 'to plunge', and the enclitic particle ΔΕ (de), which means 'and', 'but', or 'moreover'. The final vowel of ΚΑΤΑΔΥΝΑΙ has been elided before the initial vowel of ΔΕ, indicated by the coronis ('). Therefore, it means 'to sink down and/but/moreover' or 'to plunge and/but/moreover'. It describes an action of descending or going under, followed by a connective particle.
Inflection: Aorist, Infinitive, Elided with ΔΕ
