On the meaning of the word Apolyton

[snoopy369]

Babelfish thinks apolyton = absolute.

I think babelfish is funny.

[MarkG]

absolute is one of different uses of the word "apolytos" (you can actually notice the resamblance of the two words)

[snoopy369]

It means ultimate in the sense of "best", not in the sense of "final", which is telikos, is what ye're saying Silly english and our usage of one word to mean five things ...

[Zkribbler]

Not many people know thiis but "Apolyton" comes from "a" + "poly" + "ton"

"a-" is a prefix meaning "not"
"poly" means "many" or "much" and
"ton" is a heavy weight

Thus "a" + "poly" + "ton" means people have not much weight...that is, a bunch of featherweights.

No, I believe it means something light and fluffy, like pancakes.
