An archaic or poetic term meaning lifeless, spiritless, or appearing as if dead; lacking vitality or energy.
From Old French 'alamort' meaning 'to death,' combining 'à' (to) and 'la mort' (death). The term entered English in the medieval period but became largely obsolete by the 19th century.
This word is basically the medieval way of saying someone looked 'dead inside'—it literally means 'to death,' so if you were 'alamort,' you seemed completely drained of life and energy!
