to appear • ὀπτάνομαι • G3700

Lexical Definition

‎ὀπτάνομαι‎ optánomai (op-tan'-om-ahee) to appear ^G:V
a (middle voice) prolonged form of the primary (middle voice) ; which is used for it in certain tenses; and both as alternate of ‎ὁράω‎

appear, look, see, shew self.

to gaze (i.e. with wide-open eyes, as at something remarkable
and thus differing from ‎βλέπω‎, which denotes simply voluntary observation
and from ‎εἴδω‎, which expresses merely mechanical, passive or casual vision
while ‎θεάομαι‎, and still more emphatically its intensive ‎θεωρέω‎, signifies an earnest but more continued inspection
and ‎σκοπέω‎ a watching from a distance)
