ἀπάγουσα
apágō
leading
To lead or take away from a place, to remove, usually with a sense of separation from an original position or group. In various contexts, ἀπάγω can mean to lead away physically (as in arresting or removing someone), to carry off (as in taking captive), or, by extension, to take away for execution (to put to death). The term is used predominantly with reference to people being led away—by authority, for punishment, or into captivity—but in some contexts can denote the act of removing or carrying away more generally.
