According to Dunamis (disambiguation) (Ancient Greek: δύναμις), dunamis is the philosophical concept of potentiality and actuality. In Finnish the same concept is transliterated as dynamis, and the Wikipedia article explains that the term comes from Aristotle and is the root for "dynamic". I don't know whether this sense of "dunamis" may be spelled as "dynamis" in English. --Hekaheka (talk) 04:39, 28 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
Not familiar with the sense but I found three citations; all use italics. Equinox 11:53, 28 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
