Explanation: This word is a compound adjective formed from the negative prefix 'Α-' (alpha privative, meaning 'not'), 'ΔΙΑ' (through, apart), and 'ΦΟΡΟΣ' (bearing, bringing). It describes something that is not different, or that does not make a difference. In philosophical contexts, particularly Stoicism, it refers to things that are morally neutral, neither good nor bad, and therefore indifferent to one's happiness or virtue. It can also describe a person who is apathetic or unconcerned.
