Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This word is a perfect passive participle, plural, masculine, nominative, derived from the verb "προκοιμάω" (prokoimaō). It literally means "to fall asleep beforehand" or "to be put to sleep beforehand." In a theological context, especially in the New Testament, "to fall asleep" is a common euphemism for dying, particularly for believers. Thus, "προκεκοιμημένοι" refers to those who have already died or passed away.
