Explanation: This word is a compound verb meaning 'to promise' or 'to undertake'. It is formed from the preposition ὑπό (hypo), meaning 'under' or 'in return for', and ἴσχω (ischō), meaning 'to hold' or 'to have'. Therefore, it literally means 'to hold oneself under' or 'to take upon oneself', leading to the sense of making a promise or undertaking an obligation. It is used to describe someone making a commitment or giving their word.
