Indolence \In"do*lence\, n. [L. indolentia freedom from pain:
   cf. F. indolence.]
   1. Freedom from that which pains, or harasses, as toil, care,
      grief, etc. [Obs.]

            I have ease, if it may not rather be called
            indolence.                            --Bp. Hough.

   2. The quality or condition of being indolent; inaction, or
      want of exertion of body or mind, proceeding from love of
      ease or aversion to toil; habitual idleness; indisposition
      to labor; laziness; sloth; inactivity.

            Life spent in indolence, and therefore sad.
                                                  --Cowper.

            As there is a great truth wrapped up in
            ``diligence,'' what a lie, on the other hand, lurks
            at the root of our present use of the word
            ``indolence''! This is from ``in'' and ``doleo,''
            not to grieve; and indolence is thus a state in
            which we have no grief or pain; so that the word, as
            we now employ it, seems to affirm that indulgence in
            sloth and ease is that which would constitute for us
            the absence of all pain.              --Trench.
