Sounds Like: ah-po-dee-roh-toh-moo-MEH-nahs
Translations: cut in two, cut asunder, divide, separate
From the root: ΑΠΟΔΙΡΟΤΟΜΕΩ
Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This word is a compound verb, likely derived from 'απο' (away from), 'δι' (through, apart), and 'τεμνω' (to cut). It describes the action of cutting something completely in two or dividing it thoroughly. While 'διχοτομεω' (dichotomeo) is a more common word for 'cut in two', 'αποδιροτομεω' appears to be a rare or possibly unique formation, perhaps a scribal error or a highly specific, intensified form of 'διχοτομεω'. It implies a decisive and complete separation by cutting.
