STRONGS G1624:
ἐκτρέπω: passive, [present ἐκτρέπομαι]; 2 aorist ἐξετράπην; 2 future ἐκτραπήσομαι;
1. to turn or twist out; passive in a medical sense, in a figurative sense of the limbs: ἵνα μὴ τὸ χωλὸν ἐκτραπῇ, lest it be wrenched out of (its proper) place, dislocated, [R. V. marginal reading put out of joint], (see examples of this use from medical writers in Stephanus' Thesaurus iii. col. 607 d.), i. e. lest he who is weak in a state of grace fall therefrom, Hebrews 12:13 [but Lünem., Delitzsch, others, still adhere to the meaning turn aside, go astray; cf. A. V., R. V. text].
2. to turn off or aside; passive in a middle sense [cf. Buttmann, 192 (166f)], to turn oneself aside, to be turned aside; (intransitive) to turn aside; Hesychius: ἐξετράπησαν· ἐξέκλιναν, (τῆς ὁδοῦ, Lucian, dial. deor. 25, 2; Aelian v. h. 14, 49 [48]; ἔξω τῆς ὁδοῦ, Arrian exp. Al. 3, 21, 7 [4]; absolutely Xenophon, an. 4, 5, 15; Aristophanes Plutarch, 837; with mention of the place to which, Herodotus 6, 34; Plato, Sophocles, p. 222 a.; others); figuratively: εἰς ματαιολογίαν, 1 Timothy 1:6; ἐπὶ τοὺς μύθους, 2 Timothy 4:4; ὀπίσω τινός, to turn away from one in order to follow another, 1 Timothy 5:15, (εἰς ἀδίκους πράξεις, Josephus, Antiquities 8, 10, 2). with the accusative to turn away from, to shun a thing, to avoid meeting or associating with one: τὰς κενοφωνίας, 1 Timothy 6:20, (τὸν ἔλεγχον, Polybius 35, 4, 14; Γάλλους ἐκτρέπεσθαι καὶ σύνοδον φεύγειν τὴν μετ’ αὐτῶν, Josephus, Antiquities 4, 8, 40).
