1793 entygxánō (from 1722 /en, "in," which intensifies 5177 /tygxánō, "to obtain by hitting the mark") – properly, "light upon (meet with), obtain" (LS); "to go and meet a person to converse, consult," i.e. to intervene ("intersect with").

[J. Thayer documents how this meaning is consistently the same in ancient Greek writers.

The root of 5177 (tygxánō) means "to strike, hit the bulls-eye" ("spot on"). Accordingly, it is used in classical Greek as the antonym of harmartia ("to miss the mark, sin"), so Lucian, Xenophon, Homer, etc. (see Thayer, 5177 /tygxánō).]

STRONGS NT 1793: ἐντυγχάνω

ἐντυγχάνω; 2 aorist ἐνέτυχον; generally with a dative either of person or of thing;

1. to light upon a person or a thing, fall in with, hit upon, a person or a thing; so often in Attic.

2. to go to or meet a person, especially for the purpose of conversation, consultation, or supplication (Polybius, Plutarch, Aelian, others): with the addition περί τίνος, the genitive of person, for the purpose of consulting about a person, Acts 25:24 (R.
