Languor

Filed Under L 

It can mean different things: sluggishness, lack of spirit, or tenderness. I like the contrast between the more negative meanings and the softer one. I like the way it sounds and how it feels to say it. When I hear it I imagine a woman in a light dress draped over a porch swing fanning herself on a hot day.

    My favourite is Languid, which is derived from Langour. Like you, it makes me feel like on a drowsy afternoon during a summer vacation, I could be lying in a hammock just watching time go by.
