languid
/ˈlaŋɡwɪd/adjective
Pleasantly slow and relaxed, without much energy.
Example sentences
- “We passed a languid Sunday morning reading in the garden.”
- “The cat gave a languid stretch and went back to sleep.”
Not necessarily negative: a languid summer afternoon sounds pleasant. Compare 'listless', which always signals something wrong.
