torpid adjective torpid tourists traveled tired through the tropics: lethargic, sluggish, inert, inactive, slow, lifeless; languid, listless, lazy, idle, indolent, slothful, supine, passive, apathetic, phlegmatic, somnolent, sleepy, weary, tired. ANTONYMS energetic. WORD NOTE torpid When I hear this word, I picture a hippo lolling around in shallow river water, steam rising from his stinking flesh, indolent, indifferent to the flies clinging to him, inert and contemptible. The word is therefore extremely useful for describing, say, a writer sitting around sending email or playing video games when he ought to be working; and as a self-rebuke and spur to creative activity for that writer. — DA Conversational, opinionated, and idiomatic, these Word Notes are an opportunity to see a working writer's perspective on a particular word or usage.
