It is a compound word derived from 'φόρος' (phoros), meaning 'tribute' or 'tax', and 'λέγω' (legō), meaning 'to collect' or 'to speak'. In ancient contexts, tax collectors were often viewed unfavorably due to their association with Roman authority and perceived corruption. This form is used when indicating possession or origin, such as 'the voice of a tax collector' or 'belonging to a tax collector'.
