What does SLOTH mean in Scrabble?
noun
A deep unwillingness to work, act, or make an effort; habitual laziness.
Sloth describes a settled unwillingness to act rather than a single moment of tiredness, and it was long counted among the seven deadly sins in Christian tradition for the way it lets duties and responsibilities go unattended. Writers often pair sloth with related faults such as idleness or indifference when describing a person's general character. The same word also names a slow-moving tree-dwelling mammal of Central and South America, so called because early observers thought its unhurried movement resembled the human failing of sloth. Despite sharing a name, the animal sense and the character-trait sense are understood as two separate meanings today.
