lounges

Reclines without purpose

Lounges covers both the verb and noun senses of relaxed, unhurried ease.

To lounge is to sit or recline lazily: He lounged on the sofa all afternoon.

A lounge is a room for relaxing—an airport lounge, a hotel lounge, a cocktail lounge.

The word suggests comfortable idleness, whether in posture or setting.
