Word origin
The word 'lethargically' is derived from the noun 'lethargy', which comes from the Late Latin 'lēthargia', and before that from the Greek 'lēthargía'. The concept of lethargy has been around for centuries, with early references in medical texts describing a state of abnormal drowsiness or lack of energy. Over time, the adverb 'lethargically' evolved to describe actions done in a slow and sluggish manner.
