The art of doing something while technically doing nothing.
means The quality or practice of moving, acting, or operating in a secretive, unseen, or undetected way.
from From Middle English 'stelthe,' built on the same root as 'steal' — the sense being not just taking something quietly, but the sneaking itself. 'Steal' traces back to Old English 'stelan' and further to a very old Germanic root for theft. So stealth was originally thief-logic abstracted into a noun: the manner of a theft, borrowed to describe any quiet, undetected movement, long before it got bolted onto bombers and software.
