From the root: ΔΕΧΟΜΑΙ, ΔΕ
Part of Speech: Participle, Conjunction
Explanation: This is a compound word formed from the aorist middle participle of the verb ΔΕΧΟΜΑΙ (dechomai), meaning 'to receive' or 'to accept', and the postpositive conjunction ΔΕ (de), meaning 'but', 'and', or 'now'. The participle ΔΕΞΑΜΕΝΩΝ is in the genitive plural, indicating 'of those who had received' or 'of those who had accepted'. The conjunction ΔΕ typically introduces a new clause or thought, often indicating a slight contrast or continuation. So, the combined word means 'but of those who had received' or 'and of those who had accepted'. It is used to connect clauses and describe the action of receiving or accepting by a group.
