The flattering lie energy tells you before it agrees to do any actual work.
means The latent capacity to develop, achieve, or become something — what could happen rather than what has.
from From Latin potentia, 'power, might,' rooted in posse, 'to be able' (also the ancestor of 'potent,' 'possible,' and 'puissant'). Through Late Latin potentialis it slipped into English in the late medieval period, first as a logician's and philosopher's term for the 'potential' as opposed to the 'actual' — Aristotle's distinction between an acorn's promise and an oak's reality, dressed in Latin clothing.
