EGKATA, egkata

Sounds Like: eng-KA-tah

Translations: forsake, abandon, leave behind, desert, give up

From the root: ΕΓΚΑΤΑΛΕΙΠΩ

Part of Speech: Verb

Explanation: This word is an inflected form of the verb 'ΕΓΚΑΤΑΛΕΙΠΩ' (egkataleipo), meaning 'to forsake, abandon, or leave behind'. It is a compound word formed from the preposition 'ΕΝ' (en, meaning 'in' or 'among') and 'ΚΑΤΑΛΕΙΠΩ' (kataleipo, meaning 'to leave behind'). The form 'ΕΓΚΑΤΑ' itself is not a standalone word but rather the stem of the verb, often appearing in various inflected forms, particularly in the aorist or perfect tenses, or as part of a compound verb. It describes the act of leaving someone or something in a state of abandonment or neglect.

Inflection: Verb stem, often used in compound forms or as a prefix. Not a complete inflected word on its own.
