This verb means to plunder, spoil, or seize goods, typically in the context of warfare, robbery, or violent seizure. Jesus uses it in a parable about binding the strong man before plundering his house—only someone stronger can overcome a powerful guardian and seize his possessions. The image evokes military conquest or forceful robbery. In spiritual application, it represents Christ's victory over Satan and the subsequent 'plundering' of his domain through the liberation of captives and the advancement of God's kingdom.
