Explanation: This word is an aorist active participle derived from the verb 'προσκρούω' (proskrouō). It is a compound word formed from 'πρός' (pros), meaning 'to, toward, against', and 'κρούω' (krouō), meaning 'to strike, to knock'. Therefore, it literally means 'to strike against' or 'to dash against'. Metaphorically, it can mean 'to stumble' or 'to offend' someone, especially in a moral or spiritual sense. As a participle, it describes an action that has already occurred, often functioning like an adjective or adverb, indicating the subject 'having performed' the action.
