indolent

adj

Etymology: From French indolent or directly from Late Latin indolēns, from in- (“not”) + dolēns (“hurting”), from doleo (“to hurt”). The later sense of “living easily, slothful” perhaps developed in French.

1. Habitually lazy, procrastinating, or resistant to physical labor.

   “The indolent girl resisted doing her homework.”

   “Mr. Churchill has pride; but his pride is nothing to his wife’s: his is a quiet, indolent, gentlemanlike sort of pride that would harm nobody, and only make himself a little helpless and tiresome; but her pride is arrogance and insolence!”

2. Inducing laziness.

   “indolent comfort”

3. Causing little or no physical pain; progressing slowly; inactive (of an ulcer, etc.).
4. Healing slowly.
