An archaic verb meaning to delay excessively, act with complete laziness, or neglect through indolence.
From 'for-' (completely) + 'sloth' (laziness, sin). Combines the intensifying prefix with the noun for extreme laziness to create a verb describing thorough neglect.
In religious texts, 'forsloth' was almost a sin—it described not just being lazy, but being completely consumed by laziness, ignoring all duties.
