English (Thayer)
ἀποκαραδοκιας, ἡ (from ἀποκαραδόκειν, and this from ἀπό, κάρα, the head, and δοκεῖν in the Ionic dialect, to watch; hence, καραδόκειν (Herodotus 7. 163,168; Xenophon, mem. 3,5, 6; Euripides, others) to watch with head erect or outstretched, to direct attention to anything, to wait for in suspense; ἀποκαραδόκειν (Polybius 16,2, 8; 18,31, 4; 22,19, 3; (Plutarch, parall., p. 310,43, vol. vii., p. 235, Reiske edition); Josephus, b. j. 3,7, 26, and in Aq. for הִתהולֵל), anxiously (?) to look forth from one's post. But the prefix ἀπό refers also to time (like the German ab in abwarten (cf. English wait it out)), so that it signifies constancy in expecting; hence, the noun, found in Paul alone and but twice, denotes), anxious (?) and persistent expectation: Lightfoot on Philippians , the passage cited).
