There's no doubt a place where this should go instead, but I couldn't find it (I'm terrible with forums).
List. Anyone ever have a day where you woke up list and stayed list all day? Or is it listFUL? After all, one can be listLESS like that, so where's the complementary term? |

The complementary term was Middle English list "desire", cognate with lust.
सुनिश्चितम् आश्चर्यवत् |

List vt. ME listen < OE lystan < base of lust, desire, appetite:
[Archaic] to be pleasing to; suit Listless adj. LIST2 + LESS6 having no interest in what is going on about one, as a result of illness, weariness, dejection, etc.; spiritless; languid (Merriam Webster) I assume you can wake up list but it must be aggravating having to please everyone all day. Better to be listless and hope for improvement. |
