Translations: to form a shield-wall, to unite in a shield-wall, to band together, to combine forces
From the root: ΣΥΝΑΣΠΙΖΩ
Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This word is a compound verb formed from the preposition ΣΥΝ (SYN, meaning 'with' or 'together') and the verb ΑΣΠΙΖΩ (ASPIZO, meaning 'to shield' or 'to cover with a shield'). It literally means 'to shield together' or 'to form a shield-wall'. In ancient warfare, a shield-wall was a defensive formation where soldiers stood shoulder to shoulder, interlocking their shields to create an impenetrable barrier. Therefore, the word signifies the act of banding together or combining forces for mutual protection or a common purpose, often in a military context. It implies unity and collective defense.
