   noun

   a room for relaxing; to recline or loll idly

   They lounged on the sofa watching the rain fall.

Of uncertain origin; first attested in Scots in the 16th century meaning 'to loll, move indolently', perhaps related to obsolete lungis ('a lazy lout') from French longis, or to Latin longus ('long'). The derivation is debated.
