From the root: ΚΑΘΑΙΡΕΣΙΣ, ΕΝΔΙΔΩΜΙ
Part of Speech: Noun, Verb
Explanation: This appears to be a concatenation of two Koine Greek words: ΚΑΘΑΙΡΕΣΙΝ (kathairesin) and ἘΝΔΟΙΕΝ (endoien). ΚΑΘΑΙΡΕΣΙΝ is a noun meaning 'demolition' or 'overthrow', often used in the context of tearing down structures or authority. ἘΝΔΟΙΕΝ is a verb meaning 'to give in', 'to yield', or 'to allow'. When combined, as they appear here, it suggests a phrase like 'to allow demolition' or 'to yield to overthrow'. This is likely a scribal error or a textual anomaly where two words have been run together without a space.
