| Root | ἀπέρχομαι (apérchomai) |
| Core Meanings | go away, depart, withdraw, leave, go off |
| Semantic Range | to depart from a place, withdraw from someone, go away, leave behind, pass on, go off in various directions, figuratively to fall away or disappear |
| Conceptual Significance | Frequently used in narrative to mark physical departure, relational withdrawal, or decisive turning points. In theological contexts, it can signal separation, abandonment, or the unfolding of divine purpose through movement away from one setting to another. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb; imperfect tense, active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person singular (Gr,V,IAA3,,S,). The imperfect denotes continuous or progressive action in past time. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb combines ἀπό (away from) with ἔρχομαι (to come/go), conveying movement away from a place or person. The imperfect active indicative, third person singular, is reflected by "was going-away," expressing past, ongoing or unfolding action performed by the subject. |
