lusk - adj., lazy, slothful. n., a lazy person. v.i., to be idle or unemployed.


Listed as obsolete by Webster's International third edition. Curiously, it was also listed as no longer used by Webster in his first edition in 1828. Dead words have a inertia, it seems. Origin and dialect area not given by Webster, and I'm too lusk to look any further.
