Strong's Lexicon anakoptó: To hinder, to cut off, to restrain Original Word: ἀνακόπτω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: anakoptó Pronunciation: ah-nah-KOP-to Phonetic Spelling: (an-ak-op'-to) Definition: To hinder, to cut off, to restrain Meaning: hinder Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἀνά (ana, meaning "up" or "again") and κόπτω (koptó, meaning "to cut" or "to strike"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀνακόπτω, the concept of hindrance can be seen in Hebrew words like עָצַר (atsar, Strong's H6113), meaning "to restrain" or "to hold back." Usage: The verb ἀνακόπτω (anakoptó) is used in the New Testament to convey the idea of hindering or restraining progress. It implies an interruption or a cutting off of a course of action. This term is often used in contexts where an obstacle or barrier is placed in the way of forward movement, whether physically, spiritually, or metaphorically. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of hindrance was familiar in both military and athletic contexts. Soldiers might be hindered by obstacles in their path, while athletes could be restrained by competitors or physical barriers. The term anakoptó would resonate with early Christians who faced various forms of opposition and persecution, understanding it as a metaphor for spiritual and physical challenges.
