Explanation: This word is the third person singular aorist active indicative form of the verb ΥΠΟΝΟΘΕΥΩ (hyponotheuō), meaning 'to falsify,' 'to adulterate,' 'to corrupt,' or 'to debase.' It is a compound verb formed from the preposition ΥΠΟ (hypo), meaning 'under' or 'secretly,' and ΝΟΘΕΥΩ (notheuō), meaning 'to bastardize' or 'to adulterate.' Thus, it implies a secret or subtle act of corruption or falsification. It would be used in a sentence to describe someone who secretly or subtly corrupted or debased something.
