apokaradokia: strained expectancy Original Word: ἀποκαραδοκία, ας, ἡ
Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine
Transliteration: apokaradokia
Phonetic Spelling: (ap-ok-ar-ad-ok-ee'-ah)
Short Definition: eager expectation
Definition: eager expectation.
603 apokaradokía ("from 575 /apó, "away from"; kara, "the head"; and 1380 /dokéō, "thinking") – properly, thinking forward (literally with head out-stretched), referring to eager, intense expectation. 603 /apokaradokía ("attentive expectation") is used twice (Ro 8:19; Phil 1:20). Ro 8:19 applies this term directly to each believer receiving a unique, glorified body at Christ's return (see also 1 Cor 15:35-54; 2 Cor 5:1-10; Phil 3:11-21). This intense expectation fosters earnest longing to see Jesus – portrayed as an Olympic runner straining forward to the end-goal with "head outstretched" (Ro 8:19)! This automatically also means turning away from what is lesser, to lay hold of the greater. [The prefix, "575 /apó ('from'), implies abstraction, the attention turned from other objects" (WS, 709), suggesting "abstraction and absorption" (Lightfoot). "This abstraction – from anything else that might engage the attention – is also absorpted in the expected object "till the fulfillment is realized" (H. Alford).] Word Origin
from a comp. of apo, kara (the head) and dokeó
