English (Strong)
from a compound of ἀπό and χράομαι; the act of using up, i.e. consumption: using.
English (Thayer)
ἀποχρησεως, ἡ (ἀποχράομαι to use to the full, to abuse), abuse, misuse: ἅ ἐστιν πάντα εἰς φθοράν τῇ ἀποχρήσει all which (i. e. things forbidden) tend to destruction (bring destruction) by abuse; Paul says this from the standpoint of the false teachers, who in any use of those things whatever saw an abuse, i. e. a blameworthy use. In opposition to those who treat the clause as parenthetical and understand ἀπόχρησις to mean consumption by use (a being used up, as in Plutarch, moral., p. 267f. (quaest. Romans 18)), so that the words do not give the sentiment of the false teachers but Paul's judgment of it, very similar to that set forth in Lightfoot.)
