Today's Word "languid"
languid \LANG-gwid\ (adjective) - 1 : Drooping or flagging from or as if from exhaustion; weak; weary; heavy. 2 : Promoting or indicating weakness or heaviness. 3 : Slow; lacking vigor or force.
"Even the buildings seemed to be sagging in the languid late summer, late afternoon heat."
Languid comes from Latin languere, "to become faint or weak; to droop; to be inactive." _________________ Roland Camilleri
