Strong’s Greek Lexicon
from G4253 and G2983; to take in advance, i.e. (literally) eat before others have an opportunity; (figuratively) to anticipate, surprise:—come aforehand, overtake, take before.
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.
