Explanation: This word is an adjective meaning 'free from tax or duty,' 'exempt,' or 'unburdened.' It can also mean 'incomplete' or 'imperfect,' indicating something that has not reached its end or completion. It is formed from the alpha privative (α-) meaning 'not' or 'without,' combined with 'τέλος' (telos), which signifies an end, completion, or tax/duty. Therefore, its meaning depends on the specific context, referring either to a lack of obligation (tax-free) or a lack of completion (incomplete).
