The word was Umbra

The word was used in

Lancelot du Lethe, J. Robert King 2001

The title stirs things in my mind.


Lethe
Lethe was also the name of the Greek spirit of forgetfulness and oblivion, with whom the river, in Hades, was often identified. In Classical Greek, the word lethe literally means "oblivion", "forgetfulness", or "concealment".
