STRONGS G831:
αὐθεντέω, -ῶ; (a Biblical and ecclesiastical word; from αὐθέντης contracted from αὐτοέντης, and this from αὐτός and ἔντεα arms [others, ἕντης, cf. Hesychius συνέντης· συνεργός; cf. Lobeck, Technol., p. 121]; hence
a. according to earlier usage, one who with his own hand kills either others or himself.
b. in later Greek writings one who does a thing himself, the author (τῆς πράξεως, Polybius 23, 14, 2, etc.); one who acts on his own authority, autocratic, equivalent to αὐτοκράτωρ an absolute master; cf. Lobeck ad Phryn., p. 120 [also as above; cf. Winers Grammar, § 2, 1 c.]); to govern one, exercise dominion over one: τινός, 1 Timothy 2:12.
