Answer 1

lethargy comes from the greek word ληθαργος (thats how is written in greek) and it means in greek a very deep sleep

I had to check a greek encyclopedia to find the answer you want about Lethargy

it comes from the word Lithi (Ληθη) in greek who was according to the Greek mythology the Daughter of Erida and the sister of Ypnos( which means sleep(noun)) and Thanatos ( which means Death).After her was named a fountain in Ades ( the god of the under world where dead people went) from where dead people drank water in order to forget about the upper world( world of the living)

So...it originally comes from the Greek lthargia, which means "forgetful"
