languidness

Slow, listless quality

Languidness is the state of being languid—lacking energy or vitality, moving slowly or weakly.

The word suggests a dreamy, unhurried quality rather than exhaustion: the languidness of a summer afternoon, She stretched with deliberate languidness.

It can describe physical fatigue, emotional listlessness, or an atmosphere of relaxed indolence.
