to depart
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed aspect), active voice, infinitive mood. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active infinitive expresses the simple act of moving away without emphasis on duration or result. "To depart" preserves the root sense of going away from a point of origin inherent in ἀπό + ἔρχομαι. |
