Crypsis

Updated Oct 11 2023

Concealment. In biology, it’s the ability of an organism to avoid observation.

Also, interestingly enough: it’s a term used in the seventeenth century to designate Christ’s possession of divine omnipotence and divine omniscience, with conscious restraint in the use of them.

First encountered in Following the Water by David M. Carroll.
