Meaning

Impostors <1,,1114, goes>

primarily denotes "a wailer" (goao, "to wail"); hence, from the howl in which spells were chanted, "a wizard, sorcerer, enchanter," and hence, "a juggler, cheat, impostor," rendered "impostors" in 2Ti 3:13, RV (AV, "seducers"); possibly the false teachers referred to practiced magical arts; cp. 2Ti 3:8.
