Apatetic

/ˌæpəˈtɛtɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or characterized by apathy; showing a lack of feeling, emotion, or interest.

Etymology

From Greek 'apatheia' (freedom from passion) combined with the English adjective suffix '-ic,' describing emotional detachment or indifference.

Kelly Says

The word 'apatetic' comes from the same Greek root as 'apathy,' but it's so rarely used that most people just say 'apathetic' instead—English prefers the shorter version.
