Explanation: This word is a compound verb formed from 'ὑπό' (hypo, meaning 'under') and 'ζώννυμι' (zōnnumi, meaning 'to gird' or 'to bind'). It describes the action of binding or girding something from underneath, often used in a nautical context to refer to 'frapping' a ship. Frapping involves passing ropes or cables under the hull of a ship to strengthen it, especially during a storm, to prevent it from breaking apart. It can also be used more generally to mean to bind or tie something securely from below.
