απηύδησα

Does anyone know what the root verb and meaning of the word απηύδησα is??? I realize that it's past tense first person, but I cannot find it in any of my dictionaries, nor does it work on this site's dictionary...

Thanks for any info!

Ευχαριστώ!

  I think is from the verb
απαυδώ, απαύδησα/απηύδησα, to tire, become sick of

  Right, απηύδησα is the katharevousa form of the simple past of απαυδώ, where ηυ is the ancient/classical augment of αυ; the demotic simple past is απαύδησα.
