Cunctatury

/ˈkʌŋktətjʊri/ noun

Definition

The act, practice, or tendency of delaying or procrastinating; the behavior of cunctators.

Etymology

From 'cunctator' plus '-ury' (practice or behavior). This is a less common variant of 'cunctatorship,' emphasizing the behavior itself rather than the formal position or role.

Kelly Says

This word is so rare that even spell-checkers don't recognize it, but it perfectly captures the everyday reality of procrastination—the actual habit of delaying, not just the person who does it.
