Original Word: περιαιρέω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: periaireó
Pronunciation: pe-ri-ah-REH-o
Phonetic Spelling: (per-ee-ahee-reh'-o)
Definition: To remove, take away, strip off.
Meaning: (a) I strip off, strip from, take away, (b) I cast off, cut adrift, cast loose.

Word Origin: From the Greek words "peri" (around) and "aireó" (to take or remove).

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "periaireó," the concept of removal or taking away can be found in Hebrew words such as סוּר (sur, Strong's H5493), which means to turn aside or remove.

Usage: The verb "periaireó" primarily means to remove or take away something that is surrounding or enveloping. It can imply a physical removal, such as taking off clothing or stripping away an outer layer, or a metaphorical removal, such as taking away a burden or obstacle.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the act of removing or stripping away was often associated with preparation or purification. For example, removing one's outer garments could be a preparatory act for work or battle. In a spiritual context, the removal of burdens or obstacles was seen as a necessary step towards achieving purity or readiness for divine service.
