AI Summary
φυλάσσω means, at its core, to guard, watch, or keep watch over something or someone 1234. It covers literal watching or guarding, such as keeping watch over flocks, guarding a prisoner, or being kept under guard oneself 13. From this sense of guarding comes the related sense of protecting or preserving a person or thing from harm 12.
The word is also used of keeping or observing a law, command, or teaching — that is, holding to it and doing what it requires 12.
In the middle voice it can mean to be on one's guard against, to beware of, or to avoid something 123.
