Today's Word "inanition"

inanition \in-uh-NISH-uhn\ (noun) - 1 : The condition or quality of being empty. 2 : Exhaustion, as from lack of nourishment. 3 : Lack of vitality or spirit.

"Plainly, you are perishing of cold and inanition. But if you do not mind, allow me to introduce you en route to my other guest; we will invite him to join us." - Diana Gabaldon, 'An Echo in the Bone'

Inanition derives from Latin inanitio, "emptiness," from inanire, "to make empty," from inanis, "empty." It is related to inane, "lacking sense or intelligence; pointless."
