Vine's Expository Dictionary of NT Words [1]

1: ἀπόχρησις (Strong'S #671 — Noun Feminine — apochresis — ap-okh'-ray-sis )

a strengthened form of chresis, "a using," and signifying "a misuse" (akin to apochraomai, "to use to the full, abuse"), is translated "using" in  Colossians 2:22; the clause may be rendered "by their using up." "The unusual word was chosen for its expressiveness; the chresis here was an apochresis; the things could not be used without rendering them unfit for further use" (Lightfoot).
