Why “remorate” is a great word
REMORATE — [Verb] To hinder or delay the progress of something. From the Latin remoratus, past participle of remorari, from the prefix re- (expressing intensive force) and morari ("to delay"). Unlike "impede," which suggests an active, physical obstruction, or "procrastinate," which denotes a voluntary, habitual delay, to remorate is to impose a subtle, transitive drag. It is the administrative query that halts a shipment, the heavy, damp wool of a winter coat slowing a stride, the sediment quietly accumulating in a pipe. To remorate is to thicken time itself, making every forward motion a labor against the grain of the world.
