I'm having problems at finding a way to convey the meaning of "latent". As
per the Merriam-Webster dictionary:
Main Entry: 1la·tent
Pronunciation: 'lA-t&nt
Function: adjective
Etymology: Middle English, from Latin latent-, latens, from present
participle of latEre to lie hidden; akin to Greek lanthanein to escape
notice
: present and capable of becoming though not now visible, obvious, or active
<a latent infection>
I have failed to find a gismu for that word and finding a suitable
combination to make a lujvo. Any ideas?
