HELPS Word-studies 1820 eksaporéomai (from 1537 /ek, "out of" intensifying 639 /aporéō, "without exit, passageway") – properly, without passage (no way out); (figuratively) to lack adequate resources (solutions), leaving someone in "utter (complete) despair" (L & N, 1, 25.237). 1820 /eksaporéomai ("completely disoriented") emphasizes the end-impact of having no solution (no way out) – i.e. leaving a person "totally at a loss." 1820 (eksaporéomai) means "incurring dishonor or shame in the eyes of men. . . . Hence it does not spring out of a reverence for right in itself, but from fear of the knowledge and opinion of men" (WS, 175). In sum, 1820 (eksaporéomai) relates to someone (apparently) "left in the straits" (with no way out) – i.e. in "extreme exposure," without a good alternative ("no exit strategy").
