Exegesis

exegesis (n.) 1610s, "explanatory note," from Greek exegesis "explanation, interpretation," from exegeisthai "explain, interpret," from ex "out" (see ex-) + hegeisthai "to lead, guide," from PIE root *sag- "to track down, seek out" (see seek (v.)). Meaning "exposition (of Scripture)" is from 1823.
----In its oldest historical root as ex hegeisthai, exegesis may be conceived as a guided search or critical trackingCf. "it tracks."; in this sense it can be seen as the central process of progressive industrialism, the latter itself being almost unavoidably made use of by what in history manifests as capitalism, and in a wider sense, civilization. (Eiríksson, 2022).
