torpidness
State of lethargy
Torpidness is the state of being sluggish, inactive, or mentally dull.
The word describes a lack of energy or alertness, whether from exhaustion, heat, illness, or simple apathy: The summer torpidness made even thinking feel like effort.
It shares territory with torpor but sounds slightly more clinical or formal.
