About This Root
From Latin dolor (pain, grief, sorrow). Yields words about suffering and its absence: doleful and dolorous express grief directly; condolence (sharing pain with another); dole (originally a share of suffering, now welfare payment). Interestingly, indolent means "without pain" — one who avoids the pain of effort, hence lazy.
