Translations: drawing back, shrinking, holding back, withdrawing, over, above, beyond, for, on behalf of
From the root: ΥΠΟΣΤΕΛΛΩ, ΥΠΕΡ
Part of Speech: Verb, Preposition
Explanation: This appears to be a compound word or a concatenation of two distinct words: the participle 'ὑποστελλόμενος' (hypostellomenos) and the preposition 'ὑπέρ' (hyper). 'Ὑποστελλόμενος' is the present middle/passive participle of 'ὑποστέλλω', meaning 'to draw back', 'to shrink from', or 'to hold back'. 'Ὑπέρ' is a preposition meaning 'over', 'above', 'beyond', 'for', or 'on behalf of'. When combined, it suggests an action of holding back or withdrawing *on behalf of* or *for* someone/something, or perhaps *over* or *beyond* something. It is highly probable that these two words should be separated in the original text.
Inflection: Participle: Singular, Nominative, Masculine, Present, Middle or Passive; Preposition: Does not inflect
