Explanation: This word is an aorist active participle of the verb 'περιδύω' (peridyō), meaning 'to strip off' or 'to divest'. It is a compound word formed from 'περί' (peri), meaning 'around' or 'about', and 'δύω' (dyō), meaning 'to put on' or 'to enter', but in this compound, it takes on the meaning of 'to strip off' or 'to take off' something that is around a person or object. It describes an action of removing clothing, armor, or other coverings from someone or something, often implying a complete removal. As a participle, it functions like an adjective or adverb, describing an action performed by the subject, often translated as 'having stripped off' or 'stripping off'.
