Part of Speech: Preposition, Article

Explanation: This is a compound phrase consisting of the preposition 'ὑπό' (hypo) and the genitive masculine or neuter singular form of the definite article 'ὁ' (ho), which is 'τοῦ' (tou). The preposition 'ὑπό' can mean 'by' (indicating agency), 'under' (indicating position), or 'from' (indicating source), depending on the context and the case of the noun it governs. When combined with the genitive case, as it is here with 'τοῦ', it typically denotes agency ('by') or source ('from under'). For example, it could be used to say 'by the man' or 'from under the table'.
