Etymology

The term 'lazybones' originated in the mid-19th century as a colloquial expression used to describe a person who is lazy or idle. The word 'lazy' dates back to the 1540s, derived from the Middle Low German 'lais' meaning 'idle, lazy'. 'Bones' was added to create a playful and informal term for a lazy person. Over time, 'lazybones' has become a commonly used term to humorously describe individuals who avoid work or exertion.
