Semantic domains: Physiological Processes and States

Subdomains: Tire, Rest

Definition: to cease one’s work or activity, resulting in a period of rest

Notes: καταπαύω[a] and κατάπαυσις appear to differ in meaning from ἀναπαύομαι[a] and ἀνάπαυσις [source selector 000001][b] (23.80: ἀνάπαυσις / 23.80: ἀναπαύω) in that the emphasis of καταπαύω[a] and κατάπαυσις is more upon the cessation of activity resulting in rest rather than upon the mere restorative character of rest.
