The clue to this puzzle from the British Quick Crossword is listlessness. That’s a very distinct word, which means that a person has a lack of motivation to do something. It could also mean a lack of energy or enthusiasm to do anything. It isn’t entirely laziness, but just a feeling that you’re really not motivated to do anything, and there are several potential answers to this.
List of potential answers to listlessness
The first one is SLOTH, and you already know what that means. It’s one of the seven deadly sins, where it is about someone being severely lazy and unmotivated to do anything. TORPOR is also a good answer, which correlates to the word lethargy. It also means a lack of physical or mental activity.
Another word that isn’t used as much, which can be an answer, is LANGUOR. This word means a feeling of tiredness or fatigue. Lastly, ENNUI can be a contender. This one means the lack of excitement and really translates to listlessness.
