sorry this is long. I love to over analyze anime. I personally like the latin terms but understand why they were translated for the wiki. Acedia is often mistranslated in english to Sloth. the roots of it are certainly "without care" or "listlessness" From what I've read it seems to translate more accurately into "Despair", which seems more severe however I encourage those who are interested to read the "Aquinas' definition" section on the wiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acedia . Which includes the following: "Acedia is essentially a flight from the divine that leads to not even caring that one does not care. The ultimate expression of this is a despair that ends in suicide." Another interesting bit I found was that tristitia on a latin dictionary was synonymous with the word "declension" an archaic term meaning "a condition of decline or moral deterioration." which sounds like Tristitia is the start to what ultimately becomes the 'larger sin' which seems an awful lot like depression. It's strange even english scripture that is newer than like 13th century has been known for its very poor and often called mistranslations of these two words as they often seem to feel Acedia translates directly to sloth but there seems to be much more to it. Maybe I personally just feel it is wrong to consider suicide a sin or to think that suicide would be the work of sloth?idk it doesn't sound right to me. I had someone close to me kill themself so I could just be someone who takes it more on a personal level.
