From the root: ΦΥΛΑΚΙΖΩ

Part of Speech: Verb

Explanation: This word is the aorist passive infinitive form of the verb 'φυλακίζω' (phylakizō), meaning 'to imprison' or 'to put in prison'. As an infinitive, it functions like a verbal noun, often used after verbs like 'to be able' or 'to want', or to express purpose or result. In the passive voice, it indicates that the subject is the one being imprisoned, not the one doing the imprisoning.
