verb

To fill with torpor; stupefy.“Guileless and inoffensive, the faculties of his mind were so torporized by indolence, that they were, in his short career, nearly as useless as if they had never existed; and if he was indeed a youth of great hopes, his intellect must have been of that description which is not manifested at an early period, but which is not the less valuable for its tardy development.”
