Notes: This word refers to the state of being uncircumcised, or more literally, the foreskin itself.

Inflection: Singular, Accusative, Feminine

Etymology: The word is a compound of two Greek words: ἄκρος (akros), meaning 'highest' or 'outermost,' and βύστη (bystē), meaning 'penis' or 'glans.' Thus, it literally refers to the 'outermost part of the glans,' or foreskin.
