Explanation: This word means to defend or protect someone or something, often with the implication of fighting on their behalf or championing their cause. It is a compound word formed from the preposition ΠΡΟ (PRO), meaning 'before' or 'for', and the verb ΑΣΠΙΖΩ (ASPIZO), meaning 'to shield' or 'to defend with a shield'. Thus, it literally means 'to shield for' or 'to defend in front of'. It describes an action of active protection.
