the.com/lassitude
The elegant word for being too tired to care that you're tired.
means A state of weariness or lack of energy and interest, often with an undertone of listlessness rather than simple sleepiness.
from From French lassitude, from Latin lassitudo, built from lassus meaning 'weary' or 'faint' — a root possibly related to languid and late, both tangled up in the old Indo-European idea of slackening or letting go. The Latin suffix -tudo turns the adjective into an abstract noun, the condition of being worn thin.
