1º_ Lazio is a region of Italy that contains its capital Rome and the Vatican City State. The endonym is Lazio, from the Latin Latium which has no clear origin; according to literary tradition it is an eponym of King Latinius, the father-in-law of Aeneas who founded the city in his honor, although there is a mythological origin by latere ("to hide") since the god Saturn, dethroned and without divine attributes, was hidden in that area. But it most likely derives from latus, a, um ("plain, extensive") because its inhabitants (the original Latins) chose a plain at the foot of the mountains to settle. See Latin America . 2º_ Loose, loose, it is said especially of the hair that falls straight and without waves. From Latin flaccidus, a, um ("flaccid, lazy").
