the throne for people who conquered nothing but their own back pain.
means A padded armchair whose backrest tilts and footrest extends, letting you stretch out somewhere between sitting and lying down.
from From the verb 'recline,' which came through Old French 'recliner' from Latin 'reclinare' — 're-' (back) plus 'clinare' (to lean or bend), a cousin of words like 'incline' and 'decline.' So at heart the word simply means 'to lean back.' The '-er' suffix turns the action into the thing that performs it; the furniture sense is a much later American coinage, blooming alongside the mass-produced comfort chairs of the 20th century.
