Explanation: This word is the perfect passive infinitive form of the verb ὑποτέμνω (hypotemnō). It is a compound word formed from the preposition ὑπό (hypo), meaning 'under' or 'secretly', and the verb τέμνω (temnō), meaning 'to cut'. Therefore, it means 'to be cut off from underneath', 'to be secretly cut off', 'to be undermined', or 'to be curtailed'. It describes an action that has been completed, resulting in something being diminished or removed, often in a hidden or subtle manner. It can be used in contexts where plans or resources are secretly reduced or thwarted.
