WORD: Lassitude

A perfect word for a hot summer day, this noun, related to "lethargy" and "indifference," can be used to express the absolute extreme of both these conditions.

The lassitude of the setting July sun made it difficult to imagine a cooler temperature.


With great lassitude the cat rose to its feet, slowly wandered a few paces to the other side of the hallway, and flopped back down again.
