Sopor (Noun)
http://www.yourdictionary.com/library/goldband.gif
http://www.yourdictionary.com/images/x.gifPronunciation: ['so-pêr]
Definition 1: An unnaturally deep

; stupor, lethargy, coma.
Usage 1: The adjectives, "soporific" and "soporiferous," in the sense of "

inducing," are used more often than the noun: "Farley's soporific script worked better than a sedative on the audience." A soporific person is someone who is usually drowsy, not alert. You must add the suffix –al before the adverbial suffix: "soporifically." Both adjectives may be used as nouns, too: "Medley took a soporific to combat the worries that followed him to bed each evening." His soporific, no doubt, "soporated" him.
Suggested usage: Today's word is useful in emphasizing slowness and lack of alertness, "Clifford's attempt at conversation placed her in such a sopor, Gladys' head began nodding, which only encouraged Clifford to prattle on." That being the case, applications in the world of sports abound: "Frederika played such a soporific game of tennis that no one at the club would double with her."
Etymology: Latin sopor "deep

" from PIE *swep-os "

" akin to Latin somnus "

" ("somnolent," "insomnia") and Greek hypno-s "

" (hypnosis). The same root underlies Russian son "

, dream" and English "

." Sanskrit supti and swApa "

" derive from the same source. (For another piece of PIE, see our FAQ sheet.)
