Word of the Day

indolentEasy Street Word of the Day:Before this word meant "lazy" it had a specific medical meaning, for growths, lesions, or conditions that were slow to develop or caused no pain. The next stage in meaning was "averse to activity or movement," and from there it was only a stone's throw to "bone idle." The Latin root dolere, "feel pain," also appears in condole and dolor.
