SLOTH
What sloth means
Extreme laziness or unwillingness to work or make effort, or a slow-moving tree-dwelling mammal with long arms and shaggy fur.
Where the word comes from
From Old English *slæwth*, formed from the adjective *slæw* (slow) plus the suffix *-th* (forming abstract nouns). The Old English *slæw* derives from Proto-Germanic *slēwaz*, related to Old Norse *slœr* (slow). The word originally meant slowness or sluggishness, but by medieval times it came to denote the sin of spiritual laziness or apathy, later broadening to mean habitual idleness or laziness generally.
