From the root: ΧΡΑΟΜΑΙ, ΚΑΙ
Part of Speech: Verb, Conjunction
Explanation: This is a compound of two Koine Greek words: 'χρήσασθαι' (chrēsasthai) and 'καί' (kai). 'Χρήσασθαι' is the aorist middle infinitive form of the verb 'χράομαι', meaning 'to use' or 'to employ'. 'Καί' is a conjunction meaning 'and', 'also', or 'even'. Therefore, the combined phrase means 'to use and' or 'to employ and'. This construction is common in Greek where a conjunction is appended directly to the preceding word.
Inflection: ΧΡΗΣΑΣΘΑΙ: Aorist, Middle Voice, Infinitive; ΚΑΙ: Does not inflect
