Seth's guest Dr. Nina Shapiro explains the hype (that makes people afraid of modern medicine) in a report linked through 'that word' below; but first I want to understand that word better. And I find you understand words better if you look at 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum)
The word “Swindle” (meaning of a word in the base of "Hype") is built on ancient words that mean "to |Languish, Disappear" (actually a back-formation of Swindler "a |Dizzying, |Giddy, |Extravagant, |Cheating Speculator" ... a Mountebank?)
