Conversation

I’ve been feeling a bit of anergia lately, like I just can’t get motivated.

I totally get that; sometimes it’s hard to find the energy to do anything.

Yeah, I think I need to change my routine to shake off this anergia.

That sounds like a good idea; maybe try some exercise or a new hobby.

Root Explanation

Anergia is derived from the Greek "an-" (meaning without) and "ergon" (meaning work or activity). The term describes a state of lacking energy or activity, hence the meaning of the word.

Memory Tip

Think of 'without' ('an-') and 'work' ('ergon') to remember that 'anergia' refers to a lack of energy or activity.
