About ἀναπαύω (anapaúō)
Anapauō is the verb behind Jesus' invitation in Matthew 11:28: "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." It literally pictures a stopping — laying a burden down rather than simply pausing to catch your breath before picking it back up. The noun form, anapausis (Strong's G372), describes the resulting state: an intermission, a break from labor.
