προσᾰν-ᾱλίσκω G4321
to spend in addition, to consume further, to expend more beyond what was already used
A compound verb indicating additional expenditure or consumption beyond previous spending. Classical usage included wasting further time or lavishing additional resources. Luke 8:43 describes the hemorrhaging woman who had spent all her living on physicians—the participle indicates she had exhausted her resources in additional spending, trying doctor after doctor with no result. The prefix intensifies the tragedy: not just spending but spending additionally, progressively depleting everything in desperate search for healing.
Senses
1. sense 1 — The glosses emphasize the additional nature of the spending ('having spent,' 'habiendo gastado,' 'dépenser en plus'). Luke's medical precision notes the progressive consumption of resources—she kept spending more and more, doctor after doctor, treatment after treatment, until nothing remained. This intensifies the miracle that follows: Jesus heals instantly and freely what physicians couldn't heal with all her money and years. 1×
