anaideia

ἀναιδίαν [1 verse](verb fut inf act ) "Importunity" is anaideia, which means "to be alone", "secluded", "to be peculiar", "to be special, superior".  This compound word consists of a negative prefix (ana) and the Greek word αἰδώς (aidos), which means "reverence", "awe", "respect", "regard for others", "shame", "scandal", and "dignity". So the word is thought to mean "no respect", "no regard for others", and "no shame". - -The unique problem word here is the one translated as "importunity" (which means "demand") in the KJV and "persistence" and "shameless audacity" in other translations. The word is a verb used as a noun describing the meaning of the verb. The verb means "to be alone", "secluded", "to be peculiar", "to be special, superior". The tense is the future. This means this form would mean "the future solitude".  So the sense is, for the sake of future solitude, the man will act.
