lethargically

/ɫəˈθɑɹdʒɪkəli/ adv C1 ✓

In a lethargic manner, without energy, tiredly.

Word Origin A compound of Greek lēthē 'forgetfulness' and ergon 'work' — so lethargy is literally 'forgetfulness of work,' a state of sluggish inactivity. Lethargically means 'in a lethargic manner.' The ergon root is the same one in ergonomics (the study of work efficiency) and allergy (another work, a different reaction). So when you're moving lethargically, you've forgotten to work — your body is on strike.
