Strong's Lexicon apopleó: To sail away, to depart by sea Original Word: ἀποπλέω Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἀπό (apo, meaning "from" or "away") and the verb πλέω (pleó, meaning "to sail"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀποπλέω, the concept of departing or setting out on a journey can be found in various Hebrew terms related to travel and movement, such as יָצָא (yatsa, meaning "to go out" or "to depart"). Usage: The verb ἀποπλέω is used in the context of maritime travel, specifically referring to the act of setting sail or departing by sea. It conveys the idea of leaving a port or harbor to embark on a journey across the waters. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Mediterranean world, sea travel was a common mode of transportation for trade, military, and personal travel. The act of setting sail was significant, as it often marked the beginning of a journey that could be fraught with danger due to unpredictable weather and the limitations of ancient navigation techniques. The term ἀποπλέω would have been familiar to those living in coastal regions and involved in maritime activities.
