Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This word describes the action of managing a household, staying at home, or being a homemaker. It implies a focus on domestic duties and the care of the home. The prefix 'ὑπό' (hypo) suggests being 'under' or 'in the care of', but in this context, it likely intensifies or specifies the domestic aspect, perhaps implying a subordinate role in household management or simply 'under the roof'. It is a compound word formed from 'ὑπό' (hypo, 'under') and 'οἰκουρέω' (oikoureō, 'to keep house').
