A sloth is a tree-dwelling mammal that lives in South American rainforests, that moves usually very slowly. There are two types of sloths, the three-toed sloth and the two-toed sloth. The three-toed sloth is known for being more easygoing in its personality and less aggressive than the two-toed sloth. Both types have three toes on their back feet, but the two-toed has two front "fingers" on each front paw, while the three-toed has three.
The word sloth has also come to mean laziness, because of the very sedentary lifestyle of the animal sloth.

Is sloth one of the seven deadly sins?
Catholic AnswerSloth, or acedia (in Latin) is spiritual apathy or (dictionary definition) habitual disinclination to exertion; indolence; laziness. Sloth is where you just can't seem to pull yourself together enough to start praying, going to the Sacraments worthily, and making a serious effort to be a better person. St. Thomas Aquinas discuss sloth in the Summa Theologiae, here is his opening remark under "Is sloth a sin?":I answer that, Sloth, according to Damascene (De Fide Orth. ii, 14) is an oppressive sorrow, which, to wit, so weighs upon man's mind, that he wants to do nothing; thus acid things are also cold. Hence sloth implies a certain weariness of work, as appears from a gloss on Psalm 106:18, "Their soul abhorred all manner of meat," and from the definition of some who say that sloth is a "sluggishness of the mind which neglects to begin good."
