αποπλέω
Lemma: αποπλέω
Translation: to sail away; to set sail (verb)
Etymology: From Ancient Greek ἀποπλέω (apopléō), composed of the prefix ἀπό (apó) meaning 'away from, off' and πλέω (pléō) meaning 'to sail, to float'. The root πλέω is related to English words like 'float' and 'fleet' through the Proto-Indo-European root *pleu- meaning 'to flow'. This etymology clearly reflects the verb's meaning of sailing away from a location.
