Today's Word "hebetude"
hebetude \HEB-uh-tood-; -tyood\ (noun) - Mental dullness or sluggishness.
"The Hormel's eschewed a television in their house, feeling that encouraged hebetude and physical laxity."
Hebetude derives ultimately from Latin hebes, "blunt, dull, mentally dull, sluggish, stupid." The adjective form is hebetudinous. _________________ Roland Camilleri
