(G5891) Synonyms for Profligacy: asotia (ἀσωτία G810), aselgeia (ἀσέλγεια G766).

The fundamental idea of asotia is "wastefulness and riotous excess; of aselgeia, lawless insolence and wanton caprice" (Trench). asotia means reckless and extravagant expenditure, chiefly for the gratification of one's sensual desires. It denotes a dissolute, profligate course of life. In aselgeia also there is included the idea of profligacy, often of lasciviousness, but the fundamental thought is the acknowledging of no restraints, the insolent doing of whatever one's caprice may suggest.
