ὀπτάνομαι
G3700 · optánomai · op-tan'-om-ahee · Greek
Strong’s definition
to gaze (i.e. with wide-open eyes, as at something remarkable; and thus differing from G991, which denotes simply voluntary observation; and from G1492, which expresses merely mechanical, passive or casual vision; while G2300, and still more emphatically its intensive G2334, signifies an earnest but more continued inspection; and G4648 a watching from a distance)
KJV usage
:--appear, look, see, shew self.
