Definition

Describing something that lacks energy, strength, or the ability to move or function effectively.

Example

The patient was diagnosed with an adynamic condition that left him feeling weak and fatigued.

Conversation

I’ve been feeling a bit adynamic lately, like I don’t have any energy.

That’s tough! Have you been getting enough sleep?

Not really, I think that might be the reason for my adynamic state.

You should definitely try to rest more; it can really make a difference.

Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Adynamic → It is formed from "a-" (meaning without) and "dynamic" (from Greek "dynamikos", meaning power or force). The word describes a state of being without power or energy.

Memory Tip

Think of 'a-' meaning without, and 'dynamic' relating to power — so adynamic means lacking power or energy.
