Understanding Indolence: Definition, Examples, and Connotations

Indolent refers to something that is slow-moving, sluggish, or inactive. It can be used to describe a person, a task, or a process that lacks energy, motivation, or progress.

For example, you might say that someone is indolent if they are lazy and don't want to do any work, or if a project is indolent if it's not making much progress due to a lack of effort or resources.

The word "indolent" can also have negative connotations, implying that the person or thing being described is neglectful, careless, or unproductive. However, it can also be used in a more neutral sense to describe someone who is simply relaxed and enjoying a period of inactivity.
