Indolent is a word which means lazy. The word conjures up images of hot, lackadasical people. These people will work, but only if they have to. "Mary was indolent in the heat of summer."
The word "indolent" comes from the Latin word "indolens," which is derived from "in-" (not) and "dolere" (to feel pain). It originally meant free from physical pain, and eventually evolved to describe someone who is lazy or inactive.
Indolent is someone who is lazy and does not want to do anything. A good sentence would be, she was very indolent after she had not slept well the night before.
The hot weather made the workers indolent, and they didn't complete the job.
The indolent man was put in the situation to decide between getting a job or losing his house. Because he was so indolent, and didn't have the energy or want to work, he lost his house. (indolent is a synonym for lazy)
