παραδίδομαι
Lemma: παραδίδομαι
Translation: to surrender; to give up; to capitulate (verb)
Etymology: From παρά (para, 'beside, alongside') + δίδομαι (didomai, 'to give oneself'). It's the passive form of παραδίδω (paradido, 'to hand over, to deliver'). The root comes from the ancient Greek δίδωμι (didomi, 'to give'), which is related to the English words 'donate' and 'donation' through the Latin 'donare'. The prefix παρα- (para-) appears in many English words like 'parallel', 'paradigm', and 'paradox'.
