Explanation: This is an inflected form of the verb 'προκόπτω' (prokoptō), meaning 'to advance' or 'to make progress'. It is a compound word formed from 'πρό' (pro), meaning 'before' or 'forward', and 'κόπτω' (koptō), meaning 'to cut' or 'to strike'. The original sense was 'to cut a way forward', like clearing a path through a forest. In a broader sense, it refers to making progress or advancing in any field, such as knowledge, skill, or spiritual growth. The form 'προέκοπτον' indicates an ongoing action in the past, specifically 'I was advancing' or 'they were advancing', depending on the context.
