languid

From the Old French, languere, into 16 Century Latin languidus this adjective has several, related meanings.

The word can mean being without energy or spirit; without interest or enthusiasm; sluggish or inactive.

Within the context of work it has a negative impact.

When on holiday it is entirely positive and speaks of relaxed, easy, take-them-as-they-arise days!
