laze

Idle the day

Laze means to spend time relaxing or doing nothing in particular: We lazed by the pool all afternoon.

It suggests pleasant idleness rather than guilty sloth.

The noun laze refers to a period of such relaxation: a Sunday laze.

To laze away time is to pass it without effort or purpose.
