Dilatory

“Dilatory” (DIL-uh-tor-ee) – from the Latin for “to delay” – means given to procrastination; tending to put off what ought to be done at once.

Example (as used by Carroll O’Connor in I Think I’m Outta

Here): “I am inclined to be dilatory, and if I had not enjoyed extraordinary luck in life and love I might have been living with my mother at that very moment, doing nothing.”
