Lacking energy or vitality; weak, sluggish, or listless. Can describe physical tiredness, mental dullness, or a slow, relaxed manner.
From Latin 'languidus' meaning 'faint, weak, listless,' from 'languere' (to be weary). The word entered English in the 16th century, originally describing physical weakness but expanding to include mental and emotional states.
Think 'language' + 'languid' - when you're languid, even your language becomes slow and lazy! Picture a hot summer day when you're too tired to move quickly, everything feels heavy and sluggish. That's the languid feeling.
