Explanation: This is a compound word formed from 'ΠΟΤΕ' (pote), meaning 'at some time' or 'once', and a participle of 'ΙΕΡΟΦΑΝΤΕΩ' (hierophanteō), which means 'to act as a hierophant' or 'to reveal sacred things'. A hierophant was a priest in ancient Greece, especially at the Eleusinian Mysteries, who revealed sacred rites and mysteries.
