What's in a name?
dolus / ˈdōləs / n. 1 Roman, civil, & Scots law : the doing of anything that is contrary to good conscience : the use of a trick, stratagem, artifice, or device to deceive another : DECEIT
(Merriam-Webster.com, 2018)
- In Greek mythology, Dolos (or the Latin spelling Dolus) is the spirit of trickery and guile. He is a master at cunning deception, craftiness, and treachery. Dolos became known for his skill when he attempted to make a fraudulent copy of the statue Aletheia (Veritas) for the purpose of tricking people into thinking they were seeing the real statue.
- There are many translations for the Latin word dolus, including: deceit, fraud, treachery, and a trap.
- With words of Greek origin, adding the prefix a- inverts its meaning. It’s like adding the descriptor not or without.
The result: If dolus means deceit, then adolus means no deceit. - So while the main power of the Greek spirit Dolos was to cause chaos among humanity, the aDolus solution aims to remove that threat.
