Taking two words like "Language" and "English" and cramming them together to make a new word doesn't work if that 'new' word, "Languish", isn't new. Like "hungry" and "angry" made "hangry". "Hangry" wasn't a word before the combining. "Languish" is already a word with a definition. >**Languish** >verb (used without object) > >1. to be or become weak or feeble; droop; fade. >2. to lose vigor and vitality. >3. to undergo neglect or experience prolonged inactivity; suffer hardship and distress (*to languish in prison for ten years.*) >4. to be subjected to delay or disregard; be ignored (*a petition that languished on the warden's desk for a year.*) > >noun > >1. the act or state of languishing. >2. a tender, melancholy look or expression. > >--- >**Languishing** >adjective > >1. becoming languid, in any way. >2. expressive of languor; indicating tender, sentimental melancholy (*a languishing sigh.*) >3. lingering (*a languishing death.*) Origin of languish 1250–1300; Middle English <Middle French languiss-, long stem of languir ≪ Latin languēre to languish; akin to laxus.
