RR117 Word of the Week: Sedentary
Ried after being rendered immobile to a certain extent is diving into the meaning of the word sedentary. What it means, what it does not. She also compares and contrasts sedentary and lazy. Because the synonyms listed are a little wonky.
Surprising factoid: the phrase “not in the habit of exercise” i.e. “sedentary lifestyle” as a description has been around since the 1660s.
