It is often used in philosophical contexts, particularly by the Stoics, to refer to things that are neither good nor bad in themselves, but morally neutral. It is a compound word formed from 'α-' (a-privative, meaning 'not'), 'δια' (dia, meaning 'through' or 'apart'), and 'φερω' (phero, meaning 'to bear' or 'to carry'), literally meaning 'not bearing apart' or 'not making a difference'.
