The word languish is a verb and the according to Merriam-Webster the definition is ” to be or become feeble, weak, or enervated”. I fond this word in the article “The Boys at the Back” by Christina Hoff Sommers. In this article, she talked about inequality between genders. She used this word to explain that girls have someone’s back in time of struggle, depression, and in education. Their is always someone who support them when they got weak at certain point. We need to do the same thing for boys when they got languished like got weak at some point.
