fatigue
/fəˈtiːɡ/noun
Deep tiredness brought on by hard physical or mental effort.
Example sentences
- “After the double shift, the nurse could barely hide her fatigue.”
- “Long drives without breaks can lead to dangerous driver fatigue.”
More clinical than 'tiredness': doctors and engineers both use it, as in chronic fatigue or metal fatigue. 'Fatigues' in the plural means military work clothes.
