Relief from fatigue or weariness; a resting period that refreshes or restores energy.
From the prefix 'de-' plus a form related to 'lassitude' or 'lass' (meaning tired), possibly influenced by Latin 'lassus' meaning 'weary.' This is an obsolete or extremely rare English word.
In an era before 'break,' 'rest,' and 'relaxation' were common words, people used beautiful archaic terms like 'delassation' to describe the simple pleasure of recovering from exhaustion.
