Are you sure it's Latin - there's no letter "k" in Latin. It looks more
like Greek to me - I'm afraid never learned Greek at school.

It isn't Latin, it's Greek. It appears to be a compound 'apo' = 'by' +
karadokia = 'expectation', 'watching', 'vigilance', even 'ambush'.
Something like that, anyway.

The trouble with compound words is that sometimes they are adopted for
new concepts that are rather a long way from the apparent meaning.

It is Greek, and the Greek spelling is available (to Unicode enabled
browsers) at

(The length marks on the alphas are not part of the spelling. The
orthography of ancient Greek varies, but in our time, Byzantine spelling
with lower case letters and polytonic diacritics is commonly used for
classical as well as NT Greek.)
It also explains the meaning as 'earnest expectation' and mentions two
occurrences of the word in the New Testament.

It's Greek, not Latin. (That should be a start in helping you find it.)

And as for proper spelling -- well, given vagaries of transliteration from Greek
to Latin script, it looks to be spelled acceptably.

a. It's Greek, not Latin.
b. Not sure about the "apo" prefix, but according to my Greek-to-German
dictionary, "karadokia" is "lying in wait for", "looking out for" - something
like that. Does that help?

It is not Latin but Koine (the version of Greek used in the New Testament).
It means anxious and persistent expectation, and occurs in the Epistle to
the Romans, Ch 8, v 19 and the Epistle to the Phillipians, Ch 1 v 20. In the
King James Bible it is translated both times as 'earnest expectation'.
