How to use "Lethargic" in context?
Leisurely means inactive or idle. Both words share a root word meaning "to lie down." According to the Oxford English Dictionary, leisurely first appeared in print in the early 1500s, while lethargic first appeared in the 1700s. The two words are not always interchangeable, but they share some similar meanings. Leisurely can mean a state of being at ease or content. Lethargic, by contrast, often means listless, boring, and unenergetic. In some cases, lethargic might also refer to a state of being sleepy or drowsy.
