Based on the provided data, the Greek word ἀποστυγέω (apostugeō) means to abhor, which generally refers to a feeling of strong dislike or intense aversion. The semantic domain of Emotion & Attitude indicates that this word is closely related to emotions and attitudes, particularly intense negative ones. This word is extremely rare in the Bible, with only one occurrence recorded. This scarcity suggests that the term was likely used in specific contexts to convey intense emotion or revulsion, possibly to describe reactions to morally reprehensible actions. In this sense, its usage is quite limited and focused. Given its limited range of usage and the single occurrence in the Bible, it's difficult to make broad claims about the significance of ἀποστυγέω. However, its definition and the surrounding context may provide insight into the author's intentions or the character's emotions in that specific passage, making it a potentially valuable tool for understanding the nuances of the original text.
