Strong’s Definitions [?](Strong’s Definitions Legend)
ἀποτάσσομαι apotássomai, ap-ot-as'-som-ahee; middle voice from G575 and G5021; literally, to say adieu (by departing or dismissing); figuratively, to renounce:—bid farewell, forsake, take leave, send away.
STRONGS G657:
ἀποτάσσω: to set apart, to separate; in the N. T. only in the middle ἀποτάσσομαι; 1 aorist ἀπεταξάμην;
1. properly, to separate oneself, withdraw oneself from anyone, i. e. to take leave of, bid farewell to (Vulg. valefacio [etc.]): τινί, Mark 6:46; Luke 9:61; Acts 18:18, 21 [here L T Tr omit the dative]; 2 Corinthians 2:13. (That the early Greek writers never so used the word, but said ἀσπάζεσθαί τινα, is shown by Lobeck ad Phryn., p. 23f; [cf. Winers Grammar, 23 (22); Buttmann, 179 (156)].)
2. tropically, to renounce, forsake: τινί, Luke 14:33. (So also Josephus, Antiquities 11, 6, 8; Phil. alleg. iii. § 48; ταῖς τοῦ βίου φροντίσι, Eusebius, h. e. 2, 17, 5; [τῷ βίῳ, Ignatius ad Philadelph. 11, 1; cf. Hermas, mand. 6, 2, 9; Clement of Rome, 2 Cor. 6:4 and 2 Cor. 6:5 where see Gebh. and Harn. for other examples, also Sophocles' Lexicon, under the word].)
