What is indolent? How to use in English

The word "indolent" derives from the Latin adjective "indulsus," which means "yielding" or "easygoing." The Latin word "indulsus" itself can be traced back to the adverb "inde" (in) and the past participle "fudsere" (to be soft or complaisant). In its original meaning, "indulsus" referred to something yielding or pliable, such as tender flesh or soft ground. It took on a more figurative meaning in the Latin language, coming to describe a person as easygoing or lacking in vigor. It was used to describe someone who was slow to act or reluctant to exert themselves. The word "indolent" began appearing in English literature in the 15th century, drawn from its Latin roots. It retained the original meaning of "lacking in vigor or activity," and over time, it came to imply a sense of laziness or lack of industriousness as well. In modern usage, "indolent" continues to be used to describe someone who is lazy, listless, or inclined to avoid work or effort. However, it also has overtones of luxury and indulgence, implying a person who has been spoiled or cosseted, and therefore lacks the drive or stamina to undertake strenuous or demanding tasks.
