-
noun, something that seems to be, that appears to be a certain
way; something appears to be but is different from the way it looks. It is from the
Latin, apparere, to appear. In Dianetics and Scientology it is used to mean
something that looks one way but is, in actual fact, something else. “Gives an
apparency of health” whereas it’s actually sick. (LRH Def. Notes)
- what
appears to be as distinct from what actually is. (FOT, p. 19)
