Where you are physically or mentally exhausted. Stress makes you mentally exhausted, and hard work makes you physically tired. Also, you can get fatigue from working too much so that your body might just give out.

AnswerFatigue is basically another word for tired or lazy. AnswerIt is not laziness. It means extremely tired or exhausted, but definitely not lazy!

i agree but where does all this come from? stress?

AnswerIt's weariness from bodily or mental exertion or a cause of weariness; slow ordeal; exertion like: The fatigue of running for so many miles.AnswerThe word "fatigue" comes actually from the Latin word "fatigare" which means

to extenuate. The word "fatigue" is in common with the French word "fatigant" wich means tired.

You cannot translate it into "lazy" nor "lazyness".

Also, if lactic acid collects in your muscles, this can cause pain or fatique. Which then causes tiredness and exhaustion, but it is definitely not "laziness".

Fatigue means being tired. It can refer to physical or mental tiredness, or to both.
