HELPS Word-studies

2744 kauxáomai – properly, living with "head up high," i.e. boasting from a particular vantage point by having the right base of operation to deal successfully with a matter (see WP at 2 Cor 5:12).

[2744 (kauxáomai) likely comes from the root, auχかいēn ("neck"), i.e. what holds the head up high (upright); figuratively, it refers to living with God-given confidence.

The high level of personal (self) interest motivating this boasting (kauχかい-) accounts for why it is always in the Greek middle voice.]
