1: ἀπελεγμός

(Strong's #557 — Noun Masculine — apelegmos — ap-el-eg-mos' )

from apo, "from," and elencho, "to refute," denotes "censure, repudiation" (of something shown to be worthless), hence, "contempt," "disrepute," Acts 19:27 , RV, "(come into) disrepute," for AV, "(to be) set at nought." It is akin to apelencho, "to convict, refute" (not in the NT), elencho, "to convict," elenxis, "rebuke," and elegmos, "reproof." See NOUGHT.
