Sutta.
https://suttacentral.net/an3.68/en/sujato‘Greed, reverends, is mildly blameworthy, but slow to fade away. Hate is very blameworthy, but quick to fade away. Delusion is very blameworthy, and slow to fade away.’
And if they ask: ‘What is the cause, what is the reason why greed arises, and once arisen it increases and grows?’ You should say: ‘The beautiful feature of things. When you attend improperly to the beautiful feature of things, greed arises, and once arisen it increases and grows. This is the cause, this is the reason why greed arises, and once arisen it increases and grows.’
And if they ask: ‘What is the cause, what is the reason why hate arises, and once arisen it increases and grows?’ You should say: ‘The feature of harshness. When you attend improperly to the feature of harshness, hate arises, and once arisen it increases and grows. This is the cause, this is the reason why hate arises, and once arisen it increases and grows.’
And if they ask: ‘What is the cause, what is the reason why delusion arises, and once arisen it increases and grows?’ You should say: ‘Improper attention. When you attend improperly, delusion arises, and once arisen it increases and grows. This is the cause, this is the reason why delusion arises, and once arisen it increases and grows.’

Re: Question metta
Thanks Bhante.
While I have your attention, do you happen to know if it's accepted practice in abhidhamma or sutta pitaka written pali sources to abbreviate without "pe..."?

Ven. Yuttadhammo thinks it is, I don't. (his comment is in the reply section to blog post)

Re: Question metta
Only if you use some construction that serves the same purpose. For example, you can abbreviate a well-known list of items by just naming the first item and then adding -ādi to it. It literally means "beginning with ..." but performs the same function as "et cetera".
