How to use "Laggard" in context?
When we say someone is a "laggard," we typically mean they are slow and not keeping up with the rest of the group. A person who is a laggard is often considered to be a less than average performer, and they may find it difficult to catch up. Laggard behavior can be due to a number of reasons, but it often has to do with a lack of motivation or a lack of focus. When we see someone who is always lagging behind, it can be frustrating and make us feel like we are doing the work alone.
