The word Lethal comes from the Latin "letalis" which means deadly or fatal. That word shares an etymology with the Greek word "lethe" which means to oblivion. It was the name of one of the rivers of Hades, the Lethe. People who were granted passage to the Elysian Fields would first drink from the Lethe to forget their worldly lives and the pain associated with them.
