"Interpretation"—Dr. Barnett uses that & several other words in the foundations he sets about building-upon (in this video & in the 'main word' below) ... let's see if we can 'firm this foundation':
The word “Take” is built on ancient words that mean ... (you can see at that link) 
The word “Pull” is built on ancient words that mean “to Pluck off, Drag out.” 
The word “Historic” is built on ancient words that mean ... 
The word “Geographic” is built on ancient words that mean “|Earth + |Description” (|Geo-, |Graph). 
The word “Scriptural” is built on ancient words that mean ... 
The word “Reveal” is built on ancient words that mean ... 
The word "Demon" is built on ancient words that mean "|Intelligent."
Several of the words he builds-on include:
#Pull, #Geographic (“|Earth + ||Description”)

The Names of the Seven Churches 

The word |Ephesus| (the Church from which the other six were |Branches or |Plants)” is built on ancient words that mean “Overseer” (partly from its status as 'Center for Christian Headquarters,' but also as the |Location of the Temple of |Artemis). 
The word “|Philadelphia| (the only one Jesus didn't criticize)” is built on ancient words that mean “Loving + Brother (#Adelphi).” 
The word |Laodicea| is built on ancient words that mean “People, |Nation, Crowd + |Custom, Law, |Judgement, |Penalty, Punishment” (that Christian church's |In|difference is the reason #Laodicean means "|Lukewarm in Religion" today). 
The word |Smyrna| is built on ancient words that mean “one of the |Amazons (|Female Warriors).” 
The word “|Sardis|” is built on ancient words that mean “|Prince of Joy.” 
The word “|Pergamum|” is built on ancient words that mean “Primary, |Utmost.” 
The word “|Thyatira|” is built on ancient words that mean ... I can't find the exact base, but it might be “Dyers of Purple Fabric” or one- or many of the other Guilds or Unions of that industry.

... But I'm still searching—You know anything about how this word developed into 'meaning something different from the meanings traced above'? Comment below!
