Which verb does not belong with the others in meaning, specifically indicating it does not take an object?

The verb that does not belong with the others in terms of meaning is the one that does not take an object, which is "lateō." This verb means "to lie hidden" or "to be concealed," and it describes a state of being rather than an action that directly affects an object.

In contrast, the other verbs—"cēlō," "tegō," and "abdō"—all take direct objects. "Cēlō" means "to hide" and requires something to be hidden; "tegō" means "to cover" and also necessitates an object to be covered; "abdō" means "to bury" and takes an object that is being buried. Each of these actions involves a subject performing an act on an object, distinguishing them from "lateō," which simply describes a condition without the need for an object. Thus, "lateō" stands out as the verb that does not conform to the same grammatical structure as the others in this context.
