adverb词源
Middle English: via Old French from Latin， from languere （see LANGUISH）. The original sense was 'illness， disease， distress'， later 'faintness， lassitude'; current senses date from the 18th cent., when such lassitude became associated with a sometimes rather self-indulgent romantic yearning.
