One more thought before I have to go (since Gengwall just posted). Hypotasso is not the only “tasso” word there is. There is epitasso, antitasso, paratasso, etc. there are tons of them and they usually have the meaning of arranging something. For instance when hypotasso is used in the army, it signifies when soldiers are allies, immovable from their position next to each other, when they are fighting an enemy.
In Luke 7:8 for instance “hypotasso” means that the person HAS the authority:
“For I also am a man set (hypotasso) under (hypo) authority, having under (hypo) me soldiers. And I say unto one, Go’, and he goeth; and to another,Come,’ and he cometh; and to my servant, `Do this,’ and he doeth it.”
You need the word “hypo” added by itself if you want to make the officer-private connection. “Tasso” has the meaning “to be set” but you cannot be “set under” someone for it would literally mean that you are set under that person’s feet (See Eph 1.21-23 where the enemies are hypotasso (submitted) hypo (under) the feet of Christ.) You can only be “under” (hypo).
