Sounds Like: pros-ka-THEH-zo-meh-nos

Translations: sitting down before, besieging, encamping against

From the root: ΠΡΟΣΚΑΘΕΖΟΜΑΙ

Part of Speech: Participle

Explanation: This word is a present participle, meaning 'sitting down before' or 'encamping against'. It is often used in a military context to describe the act of besieging a city or a place. As a compound word, it combines 'πρός' (pros), meaning 'to' or 'towards', and 'καθέζομαι' (kathezomai), meaning 'to sit down'. Thus, it literally means 'to sit down towards' or 'to sit down before', which extends to the idea of settling in for a siege.
