👉 Tryphosa is a Greek word that means "to be caught" or "to be seized." It's often used to describe something that has been taken away or confiscated from someone, such as an item or person. For example, if you are trying to catch a thief and they have been caught by the police, it could be said that you tried to "tryphosou" (catch them) rather than trying to "tryphosou" (take them).
