Many years ago, when I was looking for a “big word” one day, my dad taught me to say that something is “etiolated.” Although it generally refers to plants which have been made pale due to lack of light (e.g. “white asparagus”), it can refer to paleness or loss of energy in a person. Alas, neither of these issues are common in conversation, but we used it as an “in joke” between the two of us, because nobody knows what it means.
