Interesting use of words. apo = open sta = stand cy = constact.
I reminds me of the way a phalanx operates. Standing away from the ranks, is creating an open spot, through which the enemy can attack, maybe also like falling out, or at ease.
A related word: heretic and [in]heretance are of the same root: to make a choice. One is often used for choosing to go against the prevailing wind, the other to indicate being the one chosen, elite so to speak.

Apostate church is the "falling away" spoken of by Paul in 2 Thessalonians 2:3
