Etymology

The word 'lazy' originates from the Middle English 'leisie,' which means 'idle, passive.' It traces back to the Old Norse word 'leisi,' referring to looseness or inactivity. The comparative form 'lazier' emerged in the 15th century as a way to describe a greater degree of laziness. The concept of laziness has often been tied to perceptions of a lack of diligence or productivity, evolving over time in various cultures and languages. As societies began to value work ethic, the term began to carry more negative connotations, often linked to moral judgments about individual character.
