A similarly derived word is ληθαργία/lethargia=toiling under forgetfulness/stupor….lethargy.
The Greek word for thief/robber/pirate is ληστής/listis which is derived from λανθάνω as well
as a result Alitheia, the Goddess of Truth, was always depicted as a naked, unassuming and plain looking woman. The Latin equivalent was nuda Veritas. Truth has nothing to hide and didn’t need all the adornments of the other gods.
Why does TikTok allow porn stars in its platform? Isn't it aimed at teenagers?
Nuda Veritas is the derivation of the term “Naked Truth”.
The root verb is λανθάνω/lanthano=to escape notice/to make one forget/to lay hidden
