Hebe was Greek goddess of youth, and something else I now forget. Hebephrenia is an obsolete psychiatric term for a form of schizophrenia characterized by inappropriate silly childishness. So I thought "hebetude" ought to be a synonym for childiness, but dictionary just says "dullness", which doesn't make much sense to me.
