From the root: ΠΑΡΑΚΟΥΩ
Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This word is an aorist active infinitive of the verb 'παρακούω'. It means to hear amiss, to hear incorrectly, or consequently, to disobey or disregard. It is a compound word formed from 'παρά' (para), meaning 'alongside' or 'amiss', and 'ἀκούω' (akouo), meaning 'to hear'. Therefore, it literally means 'to hear alongside' or 'to hear amiss', leading to the sense of not paying proper attention or intentionally disregarding what is heard, resulting in disobedience. It is used to describe the act of failing to comply with instructions or commands.
