I want to know the answer to the following question:
What word literally means "warding off evil?"
All the background I'm provided with is that "Alexicacus (/əˌlɛksᵻˈkeɪkəs/ ə-LEK-si-KAY-kəs; Ἀλεξίκακος, Alexikakos, literally "warding off evil"), Apotropaeus (/əˌpɒtrəˈpiːəs/". Is that enough to answer the question?
