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.

Hebetudinous carries some of the weight of lethargy.

Hebe was also one of the cupbearers to the gods.
