Strong’s Greek Lexicon
from a compound of G1537 and the base of G939 (meaning to go out); an exit (literally or figuratively):—end, way to escape.
Owing to changes in the enumeration while in progress, there were no words left for numbers 2717 and 3203–3302, which were therefore silently dropped out of the vocabulary and references as redundant.
