"lepista" meaning in Latin

See lepista in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: Varro claims the term derives from Ancient Greek δεπέσταν (depéstan), although this term is unattested outside of Varro. It is more likely that it derives from the similar form λεπαστή (lepastḗ). It is possible that the term proposed by Varro is connected to δέπαστρον (dépastron), from δέπας (dépas). Varro also implies that the term may have been borrowed from Sabine, although he may also suggest that the Latin and Sabine term both derive from the same source.
