the.com/lethargy
The body filing a formal complaint and refusing to move until it's heard.
means A heavy, sluggish lack of energy or enthusiasm that makes even small tasks feel like climbing a mountain.
from From Greek 'lethargia,' built from 'lethe' (forgetfulness, the same root as the mythical river of oblivion) plus 'argos' (idle, inactive). So the word was literally coined to mean a kind of forgetful idleness — a drowsy state where the body and mind just... check out. It passed through Latin 'lethargia' into English by the late medieval period, originally describing a pathological sleepiness or stupor before loosening into our everyday word for 'can't be bothered.'
