Apolesai is the aorist infinitive of APOLLYMI, which means (according to BDAG):
1. to cause or experience destruction
2. to fail to obtain what one expects or anticipates, lose out on, lose
3. to lose someth. that one already has or be separated from a normal connection, lose, be lost
BDAG gives the first meanning for the specific verse.
The specific inflected form occurs more than 40 times in LXX and NT.
