Word of the Day: Languish

[Ruthanne]

To languish is to become pitiful or weak because you're sick, in love, or stuck somewhere. A prisoner might languish in jail, longing for her freedom. Languish, like languid, is from the Latin word languere which means "to be weak or faint." Your houseplants might languish in a dark dry corner.

 

[Ruthanne]

After scrubbing floors yesterday,, today I plan on languishing on the couch with a good book.

 

[Aunt Marg]

As kids we languished in the backseat of the car on hot summer days.

Aunt Marg,, too bad you didn't languish with me in the old swimming hole.
Probably much cooler than a car.
