Explanation: This is the aorist active infinitive form of the verb 'ὑποτίθημι' (hypotithēmi). It is a compound word formed from 'ὑπό' (hypo), meaning 'under' or 'below', and 'τίθημι' (tithēmi), meaning 'to place' or 'to put'. Therefore, its core meaning is 'to place under' or 'to lay under'. Metaphorically, it can mean 'to suggest', 'to advise', or 'to put forward' an idea or a proposition, as if laying it down for consideration. It is used to express an action that is completed or viewed as a whole, without reference to its duration.
